The intelligent access gateway is a network product recently released by Alibaba Cloud, which can realize one-stop connection of offline institutions and sites to VPC, and quickly build a hybrid cloud. This article uses the simplest topology as an example to introduce how to use the intelligent access gateway. For product details, please click the portal .
The test topology is as follows: The private IP of the local PC is 192.168.101.5/24, which is connected to the ECS 192.168.10.126/24 in the Hangzhou VPC
- Applying for Free Test Qualification
Although it is currently in the free test stage, it cannot be purchased directly. You need to fill in the [work order]( https://www.aliyun.com/product/smartag?spm=5176.8142029.388261.375.e9396d3eAhpmZI to apply for the test qualification. - Purchase
Enter the Smart Access Gateway console and click Create Smart Access Gateway to complete the purchase.
- Area: refers to the area where the intelligent access gateway hardware device is used. Select "Mainland China" to use it in all areas in mainland China
- Instance name: Specify a name for the purchased instance (optional)
3. After the express
purchase is completed, refresh the console to see the smart access gateway instance you just purchased. Each instance has a corresponding hardware access device. Currently, it is still in the "certifying" status, and the hardware equipment needs to be delivered by express. to be activated later.
- The hardware connection
receives the intelligent access gateway hardware. The current free test model is a black iron box, not a standard machine. There is a console port on the front panel, and two USB ports can be connected to the internet through a 4G module. No. 1-2 WAN The port can be connected to the internet through broadband, and the 3-6 LAN ports can be connected to the equipment under the line. The connection diagram is as follows:
- Connect the power supply
- The WAN port is connected to the Internet: Since there is no broadband at home, the USB4G card is used for direct access. Students who need to use broadband can connect via port 1 or port 2.
- Connecting to a PC via LAN port: Port 3 is directly connected to a PC via a network cable.
Note : If you need advanced configuration, you can configure it through the hardware web interface, see configuration methods for details
-
To configure the connection, see Configuration Methods for details .
- Private network segment: refers to the private network segment of the offline PC. This test environment is 192.168.101.0/24.
- Binding the cloud connection network: The cloud connection network is a device access matrix composed of Alibaba Cloud distributed access gateways.
- Binding the cloud enterprise network: By binding the cloud network and VPC to the same cloud enterprise network, all intelligent access gateways and VPCs under the cloud network can be fully connected.
- ECS security group settings in the VPC: Securely release the network segment 192.168.101.0/24 where the local PC is located.
- Click OK .
- About 1-2 minutes after completion, the Smart Access Gateway status becomes available.
-
test interoperability
- The PC actively pings the ECS private network and captures packets:
- ECS actively pings PC private network:
Since then, a simplest hybrid cloud architecture has been built.
