create_customer_gateway¶

EC2.Client.create_customer_gateway(**kwargs)¶

Provides information to Amazon Web Services about your customer gateway device. The customer gateway device is the appliance at your end of the VPN connection. You must provide the IP address of the customer gateway device’s external interface. The IP address must be static and can be behind a device performing network address translation (NAT).

For devices that use Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), you can also provide the device's BGP Autonomous System Number (ASN). You can use an existing ASN assigned to your network. If you don't have an ASN already, you can use a private ASN. For more information, see Customer gateway options for your Site-to-Site VPN connection in the Amazon Web Services Site-to-Site VPN User Guide .

To create more than one customer gateway with the same VPN type, IP address, and BGP ASN, specify a unique device name for each customer gateway. An identical request returns information about the existing customer gateway; it doesn't create a new customer gateway.

Parameters

BgpAsn (integer) --
For devices that support BGP, the customer gateway's BGP ASN.

Default: 65000
PublicIp (string) -- This member has been deprecated. The Internet-routable IP address for the customer gateway's outside interface. The address must be static.
CertificateArn (string) -- The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the customer gateway certificate.
Type (string) --
[REQUIRED]

The type of VPN connection that this customer gateway supports ( ipsec.1 ).
TagSpecifications (list) --
The tags to apply to the customer gateway.
- (dict) --
  The tags to apply to a resource when the resource is being created. When you specify a tag, you must specify the resource type to tag, otherwise the request will fail.
  
  Note
  
  The Valid Values lists all the resource types that can be tagged. However, the action you're using might not support tagging all of these resource types. If you try to tag a resource type that is unsupported for the action you're using, you'll get an error.
  - ResourceType (string) --
    The type of resource to tag on creation.
  - Tags (list) --
    The tags to apply to the resource.
    - (dict) --
      Describes a tag.
      - Key (string) --
        The key of the tag.
        
        Constraints: Tag keys are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 127 Unicode characters. May not begin with aws: .
      - Value (string) --
        The value of the tag.
        
        Constraints: Tag values are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 256 Unicode characters.
DeviceName (string) --
A name for the customer gateway device.

Length Constraints: Up to 255 characters.
IpAddress (string) -- IPv4 address for the customer gateway device's outside interface. The address must be static.
DryRun (boolean) -- 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 .
