Azure VPN for D-Link DSR-N1000

Comments Off

I got my new router last friday. And as soon I got the time to setup my VPN to azure again, so my Azure Site Recovery service will work again.

Here are my guide to the setup, it how I get to work.

How to setup VPN from a D-Link DSR-N1000 (DSR-N250 or DSR-N500)

Note: It is important that you also take a look at ‘About VPN Devices for Virtual Network Connectivity’ – https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj156075.aspx

The 1st thing you have to do is to create network in Azure

Create a virtual Network in the Microsoft Azure cloud. Choose subnets which are not present in your local networks to avoid IP address conflicts.

Log into your Microsoft Azure Management Portal (https://manage.windowsazure.com)
In the left pane click NETWORKS.
In the bottom left corner click + NEW.
Click CUSTOM CREATE. The create a virtual network windows opens.
Enter the Name for the network.
Select a Location. E.g., West Europe
Click NEXT
(optional) Enter or select a DNS server.
In the right panel enable Configure site-to-site VPN.
Select Specify a New Local Network from the LOCAL NETWORK drop down.
Click Next
Enter a NAME for your local on-premises network.
Enter the VPN DEVICE IP ADDRESS. This is the external IP address of the Barracuda Firewall running the VPN service.
In the ADDRESS SPACE section enter the on-premise network(s). E.g., 10.10.200.0/24
Click Next
In the Virtual Network Address Spaces section click add subnet:

Subnet – Enter a name for the subnet.
Starting IP – Enter the first IP of the IP Range for the subnet. E.g., 10.10.201.0
CIDR(ADDRESS COUNT) – Select the subnet mask from the list. E.g., /24 for 256 IP addresses

Starting IP – Enter the first IP for the gateway subnet. E.g., 10.10.201.0
CIDR (ADDRESS COUNT) – Select the subnet mask from the list. E.g., /29 for 8 IP addresses

The Azure Virtual Network you have just created is now listed in the NETWORK menu in the Azure management interface.

The 2^nd thing you to do, is to create a VPN gateway in Azure

Create the Azure VPN Gateway.

Log into your Microsoft Azure Management Portal (https://manage.windowsazure.com).
In the left pane click NETWORKS.
Click on the Network previously created in Step 1.
in the top menu click on DASHBOARD.
In the bottom pane, click CREATE GATEWAY.
Select Static Routing from the list. Creating the gateway will take a couple of minutes.

When the color of the gateway turns blue, the gateway has been successfully created. The Gateway IP is now displayed below the VPN Gateway image.

Now you can configure IPsec Site-to-Site VPN for the D-Link box
