Operation

create_customer_gateway async

create_customer_gateway(input: CreateCustomerGatewayInput, plugins: list[Plugin] | None = None) -> CreateCustomerGatewayOutput

Provides information to Amazon Web Services about your customer gateway device. The customer gateway device is the appliance at your end of the VPN connection. You must provide the IP address of the customer gateway device's external interface. The IP address must be static and can be behind a device performing network address translation (NAT).

For devices that use Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), you can also provide the device's BGP Autonomous System Number (ASN). You can use an existing ASN assigned to your network. If you don't have an ASN already, you can use a private ASN. For more information, see Customer gateway options for your Site-to-Site VPN connection in the Amazon Web Services Site-to-Site VPN User Guide.

To create more than one customer gateway with the same VPN type, IP address, and BGP ASN, specify a unique device name for each customer gateway. An identical request returns information about the existing customer gateway; it doesn't create a new customer gateway.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
input CreateCustomerGatewayInput

An instance of CreateCustomerGatewayInput.

required
plugins list[Plugin] | None

A list of callables that modify the configuration dynamically. Changes made by these plugins only apply for the duration of the operation execution and will not affect any other operation invocations.

None

Returns:

Type Description
CreateCustomerGatewayOutput

An instance of CreateCustomerGatewayOutput.

Input

CreateCustomerGatewayInput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Contains the parameters for CreateCustomerGateway.

Attributes

bgp_asn class-attribute instance-attribute
bgp_asn: int | None = ...

For customer gateway devices that support BGP, specify the device's ASN. You must specify either BgpAsn or BgpAsnExtended when creating the customer gateway. If the ASN is larger than 2,147,483,647, you must use BgpAsnExtended.

Default: 65000

Valid values: 1 to 2,147,483,647

bgp_asn_extended class-attribute instance-attribute
bgp_asn_extended: int | None = ...

For customer gateway devices that support BGP, specify the device's ASN. You must specify either BgpAsn or BgpAsnExtended when creating the customer gateway. If the ASN is larger than 2,147,483,647, you must use BgpAsnExtended.

Valid values: 2,147,483,648 to 4,294,967,295

certificate_arn class-attribute instance-attribute
certificate_arn: str | None = ...

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the customer gateway certificate.

device_name class-attribute instance-attribute
device_name: str | None = ...

A name for the customer gateway device.

Length Constraints: Up to 255 characters.

dry_run class-attribute instance-attribute
dry_run: bool | None = ...

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.

ip_address class-attribute instance-attribute
ip_address: str | None = ...

The IP address for the customer gateway device's outside interface. The address must be static. If OutsideIpAddressType in your VPN connection options is set to PrivateIpv4, you can use an RFC6598 or RFC1918 private IPv4 address. If OutsideIpAddressType is set to Ipv6, you can use an IPv6 address.

public_ip class-attribute instance-attribute
public_ip: str | None = ...

This member has been deprecated. The Internet-routable IP address for the customer gateway's outside interface. The address must be static.

tag_specifications class-attribute instance-attribute
tag_specifications: list[TagSpecification] | None = ...

The tags to apply to the customer gateway.

type class-attribute instance-attribute
type: str | None = ...

The type of VPN connection that this customer gateway supports (ipsec.1).

Output

CreateCustomerGatewayOutput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Contains the output of CreateCustomerGateway.

Attributes

customer_gateway class-attribute instance-attribute
customer_gateway: CustomerGateway | None = ...

Information about the customer gateway.

response_metadata class-attribute instance-attribute
response_metadata: ResponseMetadata = ...

Metadata about the response that produced this output. Use this to recover the request identifiers a service's support team needs in order to investigate a call. Members of the metadata are individually optional.
