  1. Under Virtual Private Network select Site-to-Site VPN Connections.
  2. Click Create VPN Connection.
  3. Enter a name for the connection in the Name tag field.
  4. For Target Gateway Type, select "Virtual Private Gateway" or "Transit Gateway" as appropriate.
  5. In the Virtual Private Gateway picker menu, select the gateway you created in a previous step. If using a transit gateway, select its ID instead.
  6. For Customer Gateway, select "Existing", then select the gateway you created in a previous step using the Customer Gateway ID picker.
  7. For Routing Options, select "Static".
  8. In the Static IP Prefixes table, refer to the Interconnect View screen in Jamf Security Cloud, copy the Jamf Security Cloud Subnet value, then paste it into the table in the IP Prefixes column.
    Note:

    When configuring Transit Gateway, you cannot configure static IP prefixes/routes in this step. Instead, follow the steps outlined in Configuring Routing (Transit Gateway Only).

  9. Under Tunnel Options, paste the copied shared secret generated in Jamf Security Cloud previously into the Pre-Shared Key for Tunnel 1 field.
  10. Leave all remaining items set to their default settings.
  11. Click Create VPN Connection.

    After a few seconds, a confirmation screen providing a VPN Connection ID will be presented.

  12. Click Close.

    The new VPN connection will appear in the list.

    Note:

    The VPN connection can take up to 10 minutes to become available.

    You may proceed with the remaining steps, but the IPSec tunnel will not establish until the VPN connection is marked as "Available" in the AWS console.
