(info) The advantage of a bridged connection is that L2 protocols are also supported.

Once the sample configuration has been set up, it can be used for

  • communication between host and guest system,
  • communication between customer network and guest system.

Prerequisites

The example shows how to use the Charon Manager on the Charon-SSP AWS host and a set of commands on the remote Linux System to create an SSH VPN tunnel. For this configuration to work, the following prerequisites must be met:

...

Setting up the VPN Tunnel

Once the SSH-based VPN tunnel has been set up, you can use it, for example, to

  • point the Charon-SSP Manager from the remote Linux system to the Charon-SSP AWS host system,
  • have the emulated Solaris graphics device open on the remote Linux system, and
  • run the Solaris network connection across an encrypted connection.

Creating a VPN Bridge

To configure the SSH VPN connection, you must setup a private VPN bridge (called a virtual network in the Charon context) using the Charon Manager. Use the following steps to perform this task:

1. Open the Charon-SSP Manager and log in to the Charon-SSP AWS instancehost.

2. In the Charon Manager, open the Network Settings window by clicking on Tools > Network Settings. This will open the Network Settings window.

...

4. Enter the required information as shown below:

To Perform the following steps to configure a VPN bridge,

  • set Set Create for SSH VPN to ON,.
  • enter Enter the Number of virtual adapters (TAP interfaces) required,configure . These interfaces will be assigned to the emulated SPARC systems as Ethernet interfaces.
  • Configure the IP address for the bridge interface, and.
  • set Set the Netmask.

(warning) This interface and the interface on the remote Linux system must be in the same IP subnet.

Click on OK to save your configuration.

...

1. Open the Charon-SSP Manager and log in to the Charon-SSP AWS instancehost.

2. In the Charon Manager, select the guest system and then the Ethernet configuration category on the left. Assign one of the created TAP interfaces to the guest (see example below).

...

(warning) The steps on the Charon-SSH AWS instance host must be performed first.

As the user root on the remote Linux system, perform the following steps to set up the VPN tunnel according to the overview image above:
