Local Network Gateway

Now we need to deploy the local network gateway. A local is somewhat misleading term here because it is actually a record in the Microsoft Azure that tells the virtual network gateway where to look for external site-to-site on-premises device. See this article for more information.

Local Network Gateway

When creating local network gateway, specify the following parameters.

Setting Name Value
Name vpn-local-network-gateway
Endpoint Type IP Address
IP Address Public IP address of our on-premises Cisco ASA firewall
IP Address Space The IP address space on-premises that have access to our Azure lab, like 192.168.1.0/24
Configure BGP settings None

For your reference here is the screenshot of the review page just before creating (our actual IP is masked out).

Next step is to tie together the virtual network gateway and local network gateway with actual VPN connection.
