Synopsis

Calls the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) CreateCustomerGateway API operation.

Syntax

New-EC2CustomerGateway
-Type <GatewayType>
-PublicIp <String>
-BgpAsn <Int32>
-CertificateArn <String>
-DeviceName <String>
-IpAddress <String>
-TagSpecification <TagSpecification[]>
-Select <String>
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>

-ClientConfig <AmazonEC2Config>

Description

Provides information to Amazon Web Services about your customer gateway device. The customer gateway device is the appliance at your end of the VPN connection. You must provide the IP address of the customer gateway device’s external interface. The IP address must be static and can be behind a device performing network address translation (NAT). For devices that use Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), you can also provide the device's BGP Autonomous System Number (ASN). You can use an existing ASN assigned to your network. If you don't have an ASN already, you can use a private ASN. For more information, see Customer gateway options for your Site-to-Site VPN connection in the Amazon Web Services Site-to-Site VPN User Guide. To create more than one customer gateway with the same VPN type, IP address, and BGP ASN, specify a unique device name for each customer gateway. An identical request returns information about the existing customer gateway; it doesn't create a new customer gateway.

Parameters

-BgpAsn <Int32>
For devices that support BGP, the customer gateway's BGP ASN.Default: 65000
Required?False
Position?3
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

A name for the customer gateway device.Length Constraints: Up to 255 characters.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.

Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-IpAddress <String>
IPv4 address for the customer gateway device's outside interface. The address must be static.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>

-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'CustomerGateway'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.EC2.Model.CreateCustomerGatewayResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.EC2.Model.CreateCustomerGatewayResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAK
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information.

Outputs

Amazon.EC2.Model.CustomerGateway or Amazon.EC2.Model.CreateCustomerGatewayResponse
This cmdlet returns an Amazon.EC2.Model.CustomerGateway object. The service call response (type Amazon.EC2.Model.CreateCustomerGatewayResponse) can also be referenced from properties attached to the cmdlet entry in the $AWSHistory stack.

Examples
