aws ec2 create-vpn-connection
Creates a VPN connection between an existing virtual private gateway or transit gateway and a customer gateway. The supported connection type is ipsec.1. The response includes information that you need to give to your network administrator to configure your customer gateway. We strongly recommend that you use HTTPS when calling this operation because the response contains sensitive cryptographic information for configuring your customer gateway device. If you decide to shut down your VPN connection for any reason and later create a new VPN connection, you must reconfigure your customer gateway with the new information returned from this call. This is an idempotent operation. If you perform the operation more than once, Amazon EC2 doesn't return an error. For more information, see AWS Site-to-Site VPN in the AWS Site-to-Site VPN User Guide
Options
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
--customer-gateway-id <string> | The ID of the customer gateway |
--type <string> | The type of VPN connection (ipsec.1) |
--vpn-gateway-id <string> | The ID of the virtual private gateway. If you specify a virtual private gateway, you cannot specify a transit gateway |
--transit-gateway-id <string> | The ID of the transit gateway. If you specify a transit gateway, you cannot specify a virtual private gateway |
--dry-run | Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation |
--no-dry-run | Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation |
--options <structure> | The options for the VPN connection |
--tag-specifications <list> | The tags to apply to the VPN connection |
--cli-input-json <string> | Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by ``--generate-cli-skeleton``. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally |
--generate-cli-skeleton <string> | Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value ``input``, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for ``--cli-input-json``. If provided with the value ``output``, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command |
