Cloud network infrastructure

The cloud network infrastructure consists of the VPN gateway on the cloud site and the cloud networks to which the recovery servers will be connected.

Applying a disaster recovery protection plan creates recovery cloud network infrastructure only if it does not exist. Existing cloud networks are not changed or recreated.

The system checks devices IP addresses and if there are no existing cloud networks where an IP address fits, it automatically creates suitable cloud networks. If you already have existing cloud networks where the recovery servers IP addresses fit, the existing cloud networks will not be changed or recreated.

  • If you do not have existing cloud networks or you setup disaster recovery configuration for the first time, the cloud networks will be created with maximum ranges recommended by IANA for private use (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) based on your devices IP address range. You can narrow your network by editing the network mask.
  • If you have devices on multiple local networks, the network on the cloud site may become a superset of the local networks. You may reconfigure networks in the Connectivity section. See Managing networks.
  • If you need to set up Site-to-site Open VPN connectivity, download the VPN appliance and set up it. See Configuring Site-to-site Open VPN. Make sure your cloud networks ranges match your local network ranges connected to the VPN appliance.
  • To change the default network configuration, click the Go to connectivity link on the Disaster Recovery module of the Protection plan, or navigate to Disaster Recovery > Connectivity.
