To configure a site-to-site VPN policy, do the following:

  1. In the Cloud Services Portal, go to VPN Connectivity > Site To Site VPN > Site To Site VPN Policy.

  2. Click Create, and specify the following details:

    • Name: Create a name that does not exceed 64 characters in length. Use numbers, any special characters, uppercase and lowercase letters, and even spaces. Start and end a name with any character but not a space. Leading and trailing spaces will be trimmed off automatically.

    • Description: Enter a description that does not exceed 256 characters in length.

    • Type: IPSec is the only type available in this version.

    • Mode: This field displays the encapsulation mode according to the vendor’s type. You cannot choose or modify the encapsulation mode. Auto-detect is the only mode available.

    • PSK: Enter the pre-shared key (PSK) for the connection. A PSK is the secret shared between two edges. If you have chosen Zscaler as the vendor, then, while configuring the IPSec VPN in the Zscaler Cloud Portal, you will need to enter the same PSK in the New Pre-Shared Key field of the Add VPN Credentials dialog. For more information, see Configuring IPSec VPN for Zscaler. 

  3. Click Save & Close.
