Azure Virtual Network Gateway VPN Client Connection Cmdlets
This section provides reference information for PowerShell cmdlets used to manage VPN client connections to Azure Virtual Network Gateways. These cmdlets allow you to configure and manage the parameters for establishing VPN connections from your on-premises clients to your Azure Virtual Network.
Cmdlet Templates
The following are common cmdlet templates and their explanations:
Get-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayVpnClientConnectionConfiguration
Retrieves the VPN client connection configuration for a virtual network gateway.
Get-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayVpnClientConnectionConfiguration -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -VirtualNetworkGatewayName "MyVpnGateway"New-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayVpnClientConnectionConfiguration
Creates a new VPN client connection configuration for a virtual network gateway.
This cmdlet requires specifying parameters such as the resource group name, virtual network gateway name, and the configuration details for the client connection, including IP address pools and authentication methods.
New-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayVpnClientConnectionConfiguration -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -VirtualNetworkGatewayName "MyVpnGateway" -VpnClientAddressPool "10.2.0.0/24" -VpnClientProtocol "SSTP"Remove-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayVpnClientConnectionConfiguration
Removes the VPN client connection configuration from a virtual network gateway.
Remove-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayVpnClientConnectionConfiguration -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -VirtualNetworkGatewayName "MyVpnGateway"Set-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayVpnClientConnectionConfiguration
Updates the VPN client connection configuration for a virtual network gateway.
This cmdlet can be used to modify existing configurations, such as updating IP address pools or VPN protocols.
Set-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayVpnClientConnectionConfiguration -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -VirtualNetworkGatewayName "MyVpnGateway" -VpnClientAddressPool "10.3.0.0/24"Key Parameters and Concepts
- -ResourceGroupName: The name of the resource group containing the virtual network gateway.
- -VirtualNetworkGatewayName: The name of the virtual network gateway.
- -VpnClientAddressPool: The IP address pool that is assigned to client IPs for VPN connections.
- -VpnClientProtocol: The VPN client protocol to be used (e.g., SSTP, IKEv2).
- -VpnClientRootCertificates: Specifies root certificates for validating client connections.
- -VpnClientRevokedCertificates: Specifies revoked client certificates.
Ensure that your Azure subscription has the necessary permissions to manage virtual network gateways and their configurations.
