How to Configure Maven Virtual Gateway for Azure Virtual WAN

Maven Virtual Gateway is a crucial component of Azure Virtual WAN, allowing you to establish secure and reliable connections between your virtual network gateways. In this article, we will walk you through the process of configuring Maven Virtual Gateway for Azure Virtual WAN.

Step 1: Create a VPN Gateway Virtual Network Gateway

The first step in setting up Maven Virtual Gateway is to create a VPN Gateway virtual network gateway. This can be done by going to your Azure portal and navigating to the 'Virtual networks' section. Click on the 'Create a virtual network gateway' button and follow the prompts to create a new virtual network gateway.

Step 2: Configure BGP Address and ASN

Once you have created your VPN Gateway virtual network gateway, you will need to configure the BGP address and ASN. The BGP address should be set to one of the public IP addresses of the VPN Gateway virtual network gateway, and the ASN should match the ASN of the VPN Gateway virtual network gateway.

Step 3: Configure IP Address, Provider Name, and Links

Next, you will need to configure the IP address, provider name, and links for your Maven Virtual Gateway. The IP address should be set to one of the public IP addresses of the VPN Gateway virtual network gateway, and the provider name can be any name that you choose. Under 'Links', select the hub that you created in the prerequisites from the dropdown.

Step 4: Configure Border Gateway Protocol and Private Address Space

If your Azure VPN Gateway virtual network gateway has BGP enabled, set the border gateway protocol to Enable. You can also configure the private address space by entering a value or leaving it blank if BGP is enabled.

Step 5: Create Virtual WAN VPN Sites

To create Virtual WAN VPN sites, navigate to your virtual WAN and select 'VPN sites' under Connectivity. You will establish two Virtual WAN VPN sites in this section, one for each of the virtual network gateways that you created in the previous step.

Configuring Maven Virtual Gateway for Azure Virtual WAN is a crucial step in establishing secure and reliable connections between your virtual network gateways. By following these steps, you can ensure that your Maven Virtual Gateway is properly configured and ready to use. Remember to keep an eye out for the gateway's two public IP addresses, as they will be used to set up the Virtual WAN sites.
