The New-NetworkControllerVirtualGatewayNetworkConnection cmdlet adds a configuration for a network connection for the specified tenant in Network Controller.
If a network connection configuration already exists, this cmdlet overwrites and replaces the older configuration.
Examples
Example 1: Add a new IPSec network connection to tenant virtual gateway
This set of cmdlets adds a new IPSec connection on the Contoso tenant virtual gateway.
Example 2: Add a GRE network connection to a tenant virtual gateway
PS C:\> $uri = "https://networkcontroller"
# Create a new object for the tenant network connection
PS C:\> $nwConnectionProperties = New-Object Microsoft.Windows.NetworkController.NetworkConnectionProperties
# Update the common object properties
PS C:\> $nwConnectionProperties.ConnectionType = "GRE"
PS C:\> $nwConnectionProperties.OutboundKiloBitsPerSecond = 10000
PS C:\> $nwConnectionProperties.InboundKiloBitsPerSecond = 10000
# Update specific properties depending on the connection type
PS C:\> $nwConnectionProperties.GreConfiguration = New-Object Microsoft.Windows.NetworkController.GreConfiguration
PS C:\> $nwConnectionProperties.GreConfiguration.GreKey = 1234
# Update the IPv4 routes that are reachable over the site-to-site VPN tunnel
PS C:\> $nwConnectionProperties.Routes = @()
PS C:\> $ipv4Route = New-Object Microsoft.Windows.NetworkController.RouteInfo
PS C:\> $ipv4Route.DestinationPrefix = "14.2.20.1/32"
PS C:\> $ipv4Route.metric = 10
PS C:\> $nwConnectionProperties.Routes += $ipv4Route
# Tunnel destination (remote endpoint) address
PS C:\> $nwConnectionProperties.DestinationIPAddress = "10.127.134.122"
# L3 specific configuration (leave blank for GRE)
PS C:\> $nwConnectionProperties.L3Configuration = New-Object Microsoft.Windows.NetworkController.L3Configuration
PS C:\> $nwConnectionProperties.IPAddresses = @()
PS C:\> $nwConnectionProperties.PeerIPAddresses = @()
# Add the new network connection for the tenant
PS C:\> New-NetworkControllerVirtualGatewayNetworkConnection -ConnectionUri $uri -VirtualGatewayId "Contoso" -ResourceId "Contoso_GreGW" -Properties $nwConnectionProperties -Force
This set of cmdlets adds a new GRE connection on Contoso tenant virtual gateway.
