# gcp_compute_external_vpn_gateway{% #gcp_compute_external_vpn_gateway %}

## `ancestors`{% #ancestors %}

**Type**: `UNORDERED_LIST_STRING`

## `creation_timestamp`{% #creation_timestamp %}

**Type**: `TIMESTAMP`**Provider name**: `creationTimestamp`**Description**: [Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

## `description`{% #description %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `description`**Description**: An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.

## `id`{% #id %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `id`**Description**: [Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.

## `interfaces`{% #interfaces %}

**Type**: `UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT`**Provider name**: `interfaces`**Description**: A list of interfaces for this external VPN gateway. If your peer-side gateway is an on-premises gateway and non-AWS cloud providers' gateway, at most two interfaces can be provided for an external VPN gateway. If your peer side is an AWS virtual private gateway, four interfaces should be provided for an external VPN gateway.

- `id`**Type**: `INT32`**Provider name**: `id`**Description**: The numeric ID of this interface. The allowed input values for this id for different redundancy types of external VPN gateway: - SINGLE_IP_INTERNALLY_REDUNDANT - 0 - TWO_IPS_REDUNDANCY - 0, 1 - FOUR_IPS_REDUNDANCY - 0, 1, 2, 3
- `ip_address`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `ipAddress`**Description**: IP address of the interface in the external VPN gateway. Only IPv4 is supported. This IP address can be either from your on-premise gateway or another Cloud provider's VPN gateway, it cannot be an IP address from Google Compute Engine.
- `ipv6_address`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `ipv6Address`**Description**: IPv6 address of the interface in the external VPN gateway. This IPv6 address can be either from your on-premise gateway or another Cloud provider's VPN gateway, it cannot be an IP address from Google Compute Engine. Must specify an IPv6 address (not IPV4-mapped) using any format described in RFC 4291 (e.g. 2001:db8:0:0:2d9:51:0:0). The output format is RFC 5952 format (e.g. 2001:db8::2d9:51:0:0).

## `kind`{% #kind %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `kind`**Description**: [Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#externalVpnGateway for externalVpnGateways.

## `labels`{% #labels %}

**Type**: `UNORDERED_LIST_STRING`

## `name`{% #name %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `name`**Description**: 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.

## `organization_id`{% #organization_id %}

**Type**: `STRING`

## `parent`{% #parent %}

**Type**: `STRING`

## `project_id`{% #project_id %}

**Type**: `STRING`

## `project_number`{% #project_number %}

**Type**: `STRING`

## `redundancy_type`{% #redundancy_type %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `redundancyType`**Description**: Indicates the user-supplied redundancy type of this external VPN gateway.**Possible values**:

- `FOUR_IPS_REDUNDANCY` - The external VPN gateway has four public IP addresses; at the time of writing this API, the AWS virtual private gateway is an example which has four public IP addresses for high availability connections; there should be two VPN connections in the AWS virtual private gateway , each AWS VPN connection has two public IP addresses; please make sure to put two public IP addresses from one AWS VPN connection into interfaces 0 and 1 of this external VPN gateway, and put the other two public IP addresses from another AWS VPN connection into interfaces 2 and 3 of this external VPN gateway. When displaying highly available configuration status for the VPN tunnels connected to FOUR_IPS_REDUNDANCY external VPN gateway, Google will always detect whether interfaces 0 and 1 are connected on one interface of HA Cloud VPN gateway, and detect whether interfaces 2 and 3 are connected to another interface of the HA Cloud VPN gateway.
- `SINGLE_IP_INTERNALLY_REDUNDANT` - The external VPN gateway has only one public IP address which internally provide redundancy or failover.
- `TWO_IPS_REDUNDANCY` - The external VPN gateway has two public IP addresses which are redundant with each other, the following two types of setup on your on-premises side would have this type of redundancy: (1) Two separate on-premises gateways, each with one public IP address, the two on-premises gateways are redundant with each other. (2) A single on-premise gateway with two public IP addresses that are redundant with eatch other.
