Yes, when multiple IDCs need to communicate with each other but do not need to access cloud resources, intercommunication can be achieved through a CCN-based VPN. Each IDC connects to the Tencent Cloud CCN-based VPN gateway (not linked to CCN) via their respective IPsec VPN devices to directly facilitate traffic exchange.
Can multiple IDCs communicate with a VPC by using a VPN gateway?
Yes. You can create a VPN gateway for CCN and associate the gateway with a CCN instance. In this case, each IDC uses its own IPsec VPN devices to access the VPN gateway for CCN to communicate with a VPC.
Can I implement redundant communication by using a DC connection as the primary connection and a VPN connection as the secondary connection?
Yes. You can create a VPC-based Direct Connect (DC) gateway and a VPC-based VPN gateway. Then, you can create a DC connection and a VPN connection. Based on the VPC route priority, the DC connection serves as the primary connection and the VPN connection serves as the secondary connection. This allows you to implement redundant communication. For more information, see Hybrid Cloud Primary/Secondary Communication (DC and VPN).
