Configuring the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
If you need to connect two Protegrity appliances, or to the Internet, or a corporate network using a Private IP address, then you might need to configure the VPC.
For more information about the various inbound and outbound ports to be configured in the VPC, refer to section Open Listening Ports.
Perform the following steps to configure the VPC for the instance of the Protegrity appliance.
Ensure that you are logged in to AWS and at the AWS Management Console screen.
On the AWS Management Console, click VPC under the Networking section.
The VPC Dashboard screen appears.
Click on Your VPCs under the Virtual Private Cloud section.
The Create VPC screen appears listing all available VPCs in the right pane.
Click the Create VPC button.
The Create VPC dialog box appears.
Specify the following parameters on the Create VPC dialog box:
- Name tag: The name of the VPC.
- CIDR block: The range of the IP addresses for the VPC in x.x.x.x/y form where x.x.x.x is the IP address and y is the /16 and /28 netmask.
- Tenancy: This parameter can be set to Default or Dedicated. If the value is set to Default, then it selects the tenancy attribute specified while launching the instance of the appliance for the VPC.
Click the Yes, Create button.
The VPC is created.
