Drag and drop the steps from the left onto the order on the right to configure a site-to-site VPN connection between an on-premises Cisco IOS XE router and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Step 1 = Create a Customer Gateway (CGW) in AWS. Step 2 = Create a Virtual Private Gateway (VGW) in AWS. Step 3 = Create a site-to-site VPN connection in AWS. Step 4 = Configure the IOS XE router with the required IPsec VPN parameters and routing settings. Step 5 = Verify and test the VPN connection.
The process of configuring a site-to-site VPN connection between an on-premises Cisco IOS XE router and Amazon Web Services (AWS) involves several steps12.
Create a Customer Gateway (CGW) in AWS: This is the first step where you define the public IP address of your on-premises Cisco IOS XE router in AWS1.
Create a Virtual Private Gateway (VGW) in AWS: This involves creating a VGW and attaching it to the VPC in AWS1.
Create a site-to-site VPN connection in AWS: After setting up the CGW and VGW, you then create a site-to-site VPN connection in AWS. This involves specifying the CGW, VGW, and the static IP prefixes for your on-premises network1.
Configure the IOS XE router with the required IPsec VPN parameters and routing settings: After the AWS side is set up, you configure the on-premises Cisco IOS XE router with the required IPsec VPN parameters and routing settings2.
Verify and test the VPN connection: Finally, you verify and test the VPN connection to ensure that it is working correctly12.
