For more information, see Gateway types.Ĭreating a gateway can often take 45 minutes or more, depending on the selected gateway SKU. A virtual network can have two virtual network gateways one VPN gateway and one ExpressRoute gateway. This distinguishes it from an ExpressRoute gateway, which uses a different gateway type. The gateway type 'Vpn' specifies that the type of virtual network gateway created is a 'VPN gateway'.

The gateway type determines how the virtual network gateway will be used and the actions that the gateway takes. When you configure a virtual network gateway, you configure a setting that specifies the gateway type.

You can't directly configure the VMs that are part of the virtual network gateway. These VMs are created when you create the virtual network gateway. Virtual network gateway VMs contain routing tables and run specific gateway services. What is a virtual network gateway?Ī virtual network gateway is composed of two or more VMs that are deployed to a specific subnet you create called the gateway subnet. When you create multiple connections to the same VPN gateway, all VPN tunnels share the available gateway bandwidth. However, you can create multiple connections to the same VPN gateway. Each virtual network can have only one VPN gateway. You can also use a VPN gateway to send encrypted traffic between Azure virtual networks over the Microsoft network. A VPN gateway is a specific type of virtual network gateway that is used to send encrypted traffic between an Azure virtual network and an on-premises location over the public Internet.
