Fields
kind

string

[Output Only] Type of resource. Always compute#vpnTunnel for VPN tunnels.
id

string (uint64 format)

[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
creationTimestamp

string

[Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
name

string

Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
description

string

An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
region

string

[Output Only] URL of the region where the VPN tunnel resides. You must specify this field as part of the HTTP request URL. It is not settable as a field in the request body.
targetVpnGateway

string

URL of the Target VPN gateway with which this VPN tunnel is associated. Provided by the client when the VPN tunnel is created. This field can be set only for Classic VPN tunnels.
vpnGateway

string

URL of the VPN gateway with which this VPN tunnel is associated. Provided by the client when the VPN tunnel is created. This must be used (instead of targetVpnGateway) if a High Availability VPN gateway resource is created.
vpnGatewayInterface

integer

The interface ID of the VPN gateway with which this VPN tunnel is associated. Possible values are: 0, 1.
peerExternalGateway

string

URL of the peer side external VPN gateway to which this VPN tunnel is connected. Provided by the client when the VPN tunnel is created. This field is exclusive with the field peerGcpGateway.
peerExternalGatewayInterface

integer

The interface ID of the external VPN gateway to which this VPN tunnel is connected. Provided by the client when the VPN tunnel is created. Possible values are: 0, 1, 2, 3. The number of IDs in use depends on the external VPN gateway redundancy type.
peerGcpGateway

string

URL of the peer side HA VPN gateway to which this VPN tunnel is connected. Provided by the client when the VPN tunnel is created. This field can be used when creating highly available VPN from VPC network to VPC network, the field is exclusive with the field peerExternalGateway. If provided, the VPN tunnel will automatically use the same vpnGatewayInterface ID in the peer Google Cloud VPN gateway.
router

string

URL of the router resource to be used for dynamic routing.
peerIp

string

IP address of the peer VPN gateway. Only IPv4 is supported. This field can be set only for Classic VPN tunnels.
sharedSecret

string

Shared secret used to set the secure session between the Cloud VPN gateway and the peer VPN gateway.
sharedSecretHash

string

Hash of the shared secret.
status

enum

[Output Only] The status of the VPN tunnel, which can be one of the following:

  • PROVISIONING: Resource is being allocated for the VPN tunnel.
  • WAITING_FOR_FULL_CONFIG: Waiting to receive all VPN-related configs from the user. Network, TargetVpnGateway, VpnTunnel, ForwardingRule, and Route resources are needed to setup the VPN tunnel.
  • FIRST_HANDSHAKE: Successful first handshake with the peer VPN.
  • ESTABLISHED: Secure session is successfully established with the peer VPN.
  • NETWORK_ERROR: Deprecated, replaced by NO_INCOMING_PACKETS
  • AUTHORIZATION_ERROR: Auth error (for example, bad shared secret).
  • NEGOTIATION_FAILURE: Handshake failed.
  • DEPROVISIONING: Resources are being deallocated for the VPN tunnel.
  • FAILED: Tunnel creation has failed and the tunnel is not ready to be used.
  • NO_INCOMING_PACKETS: No incoming packets from peer.
  • REJECTED: Tunnel configuration was rejected, can be result of being denied access.
  • ALLOCATING_RESOURCES: Cloud VPN is in the process of allocating all required resources.
  • STOPPED: Tunnel is stopped due to its Forwarding Rules being deleted for Classic VPN tunnels or the project is in frozen state.
  • PEER_IDENTITY_MISMATCH: Peer identity does not match peer IP, probably behind NAT.
  • TS_NARROWING_NOT_ALLOWED: Traffic selector narrowing not allowed for an HA-VPN tunnel.
ikeVersion

integer

IKE protocol version to use when establishing the VPN tunnel with the peer VPN gateway. Acceptable IKE versions are 1 or 2. The default version is 2.
detailedStatus

string

[Output Only] Detailed status message for the VPN tunnel.
localTrafficSelector[]

string

Local traffic selector to use when establishing the VPN tunnel with the peer VPN gateway. The value should be a CIDR formatted string, for example: 192.168.0.0/16. The ranges must be disjoint. Only IPv4 is supported for Classic VPN tunnels. This field is output only for HA VPN tunnels.
remoteTrafficSelector[]

string

Remote traffic selectors to use when establishing the VPN tunnel with the peer VPN gateway. The value should be a CIDR formatted string, for example: 192.168.0.0/16. The ranges should be disjoint. Only IPv4 is supported for Classic VPN tunnels. This field is output only for HA VPN tunnels.
labels

map (key: string, value: string)

Labels for this resource. These can only be added or modified by the setLabels method. Each label key/value pair must comply with RFC1035. Label values may be empty.
labelFingerprint

string (bytes format)

A fingerprint for the labels being applied to this VpnTunnel, which is essentially a hash of the labels set used for optimistic locking. The fingerprint is initially generated by Compute Engine and changes after every request to modify or update labels. You must always provide an up-to-date fingerprint hash in order to update or change labels, otherwise the request will fail with error 412 conditionNotMet.

To see the latest fingerprint, make a get() request to retrieve a VpnTunnel.

A base64-encoded string.
