L2L VPN Tunnel

To fully use this screen, you must have the following permissions assigned to your account:

• Read Network L2L

• Write Network L2L

If you are an upgraded user, then any L2L VPN tunnel that you created in Generation 3 (my.armor.com) will not be displayed in the Armor Management Portal (AMP). If you need to modify a Generation 3 L2L VPN tunnel, please contact Armor Support via a support ticket.

Any L2L VPN tunnel that you create in AMP will be visible and configurable in AMP.

BGP Routing

Some users have asked if Armor L2L VPN supports BGP routing. Armor does not currently support BGP routing.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

If you do not see any data in the L2L VPN screen, consider that:

• An L2L VPN was never created.

• You do not have permission to view L2L VPN configurations.

  • You must have the Read Network L2L and Write Network L2L permissions enabled. Contact your account administrator to enable these permissions. To learn how to update you permissions, see Roles and Permissions.

If you cannot save a new tunnel, consider that you have reached your limit of tunnels. When you are near your limit of tunnels, a warning message will appear. In this case, Armor recommends that you review existing tunnels to possibly consolidate or delete.
