# STACKIT-to-STACKIT VPN Gateway
|
|
|
|
This example leverages the STACKIT VPN service to establish a secure, Highly Available (HA) connection between two separate STACKIT Network Areas (SNAs).
|
|
|
|
The connection utilizes **BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)** to automatically propagate and learn routing information between the two networks.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** Currently, native SNA peering is not available in STACKIT. Therefore, provisioning a VPN connection is the required method to interconnect two SNAs. This will change in the future once native SNA peering is released.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How to Test the Connection
|
|
|
|
Once the deployment is complete, you can verify the VPN tunnel using the provisioned debug machines:
|
|
|
|
1. **SSH** into the first debug machine using its public IP (`vpn01_public_ip`).
|
|
2. **Ping** the private IP of the second debug machine (`vpn02_private_ip`) across the tunnel.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Example test command once connected to the vpn01 machine via SSH
|
|
ping <vpn02_private_ip>
|
|
```
