Testing VPN as a service on Neutron

This recipe simulates a VPN connection between two data center sites connected over a public Network. We will create a private Network connected to a Router to simulate a data center. The VPN service provided by Neutron will be configured between two such Routers in order to connect the two private Networks.

Getting ready

The following table describes the infrastructure required for testing the VPN service:

Router	Private Network	Subnet	CIDR	VM	Location
Chapter12_Router1	Chapter12_Network1	Chapter12_SubNet1	10.10.10.0/24	VM1	Site1
Chapter12_Router2	Chapter12_Network2	Chapter12_SubNet2	10.10.20.0/24	VM2	Site2

In addition to this, we will use an external Network called public in order to simulate the Internet. The VPN connection will be made over the Internet (the public Network in this recipe) to connect the two Routers.

The external Network, public, uses a CIDR of 192.168.0.0/24.
