Overview

A connection between a DRG and CPE. This connection consists of multiple IPSec tunnels. Creating this connection is one of the steps required when setting up an IPSec VPN.

Important: Each tunnel in an IPSec connection can use either static routing or BGP dynamic routing (see the {IPSecConnectionTunnel} object’s routing attribute). Originally only static routing was supported and every IPSec connection was required to have at least one static route configured. To maintain backward compatibility in the API when support for BPG dynamic routing was introduced, the API accepts an empty list of static routes if you configure both of the IPSec tunnels to use BGP dynamic routing. If you switch a tunnel’s routing from BGP to STATIC, you must first ensure that the IPSec connection is configured with at least one valid CIDR block static route. Oracle uses the IPSec connection’s static routes when routing a tunnel’s traffic only if that tunnel’s routing attribute = STATIC. Otherwise the static routes are ignored.

For more information about the workflow for setting up an IPSec connection, see IPSec VPN.

To use any of the API operations, you must be authorized in an IAM policy. If you’re not authorized, talk to an administrator. If you’re an administrator who needs to write policies to give users access, see Getting Started with Policies.

Warning: Oracle recommends that you avoid using any confidential information when you supply string values using the API.

Here is an example on how to use this:

oci_core_ip_sec_connection { 'tenant (root)/my_ip_sec_connection':
  ensure        => 'present',
  drg           => 'my_compartment/my_drg',
  cpe           => 'my_compartment/my_cpe',
  static_routes => ['10.0.0.0/16'],
  oci_timeout   => 1200, # This can take a long time, so we need a longer timeout
}

cpe_local_identifier

Your identifier for your CPE device. Can be either an IP address or a hostname (specifically, the fully qualified domain name (FQDN)). The type of identifier you provide here must correspond to the value for cpeLocalIdentifierType.

If you don’t provide a value, the ipAddress attribute for the {Cpe} object specified by cpeId is used as the cpeLocalIdentifier.

For information about why you’d provide this value, see If Your CPE Is Behind a NAT Device.

Example IP address: 10.0.3.3

Example hostname: cpe.example.com

disable_corrective_change

Disable the modification of a resource when Puppet® decides it is a corrective change.

(requires easy_type V2.11.0 or higher)

When using a Puppet® Server, Puppet® knows about adaptive and corrective changes. A corrective change is when Puppet® notices that the resource has changed, but the catalog has not changed. This can occur for example, when a user, by accident or willingly, changed something on the system that Puppet® is managing. The normal Puppet® process then repairs this and puts the resource back in the state as defined in the catalog. This process is precisely what you want most of the time, but not always. This can sometimes also occur when a hardware or network error occurs. Then Puppet® cannot correctly determine the current state of the system and thinks the resource is changed, while in fact, it is not. Letting Puppet recreate remove or change the resource in these cases, is NOT wat you want.

Using the disable_corrective_change parameter, you can disable corrective changes on the current resource.

Here is an example of this:

crucial_resource {'be_carefull':
  ...
  disable_corrective_change => true,
  ...
}

When a corrective ensure does happen on the resource Puppet® will not modify the resource and signal an error:

    Error: Corrective change present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_change
    Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Crucial_resource[be_carefull]/parameter: change from '10' to '20' failed: Corrective change present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_change. (corrective)

(requires easy_type V2.11.0 or higher)

When using a Puppet® Server, Puppet® knows about adaptive and corrective changes. A corrective change is when Puppet® notices that the resource has changed, but the catalog has not changed.

Then Puppet® cannot correctly determine the current state of the system and thinks the resource is changed, while in fact, it is not. Letting Puppet recreate remove or change the resource in these cases, is NOT wat you want.

Using the disable_corrective_ensure parameter, you can disable corrective ensure present or ensure absent actions on the current resource.

Here is an example of this:

crucial_resource {'be_carefull':
  ensure                    => 'present',
  ...
  disable_corrective_ensure => true,
  ...
}

When a corrective ensure does happen on the resource Puppet® will not create or remove the resource and signal an error:

    Error: Corrective ensure present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_ensure.
    Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Crucial_resource[be_carefull]/ensure: change from 'absent' to 'present' failed: Corrective ensure present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_ensure. (corrective)

static_routes

Static routes to the CPE. A static route’s CIDR must not be a multicast address or class E address.

Used for routing a given IPSec tunnel’s traffic only if the tunnel is using static routing. If you configure at least one tunnel to use static routing, then you must provide at least one valid static route. If you configure both tunnels to use BGP dynamic routing, you can provide an empty list for the static routes. For more information, see the important note in {IPSecConnection}.

The CIDR can be either IPv4 or IPv6. Note that IPv6 addressing is currently supported only in certain regions. See IPv6 Addresses.
