How to get the general list of supported VPN vendors using JS SDK/REST API without creating a Gateway/Connection is created

Abhinandu V Nair 0

I'm trying to get the list of supported VPN Vendors & details before a Gateway/Connection is created using a Javascript SDK method / REST API call. I could find one method in arm-network package supportedVpnDevices, but this requires the virtualNetworkGatewayName as a mandatory parameter. But my use case requires the list of supported vendors before this resource is even created.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello @Abhinandu V Nair ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & hope you are doing well.

May I know what is your specific use case?

AFAIK, the only available API is the one you already mentioned in your post.

Virtual Network Gateways - Supported Vpn Devices

And as you mentioned it requires the virtualNetworkGatewayName.

The list of supported devices for Azure VPN Gateway can be found in the below doc:

Sure @GitaraniSharma-MSFT . Basically the application I'm working on acts as a intermediary between the Azure & users. Uses ARM Templates to create required resources and so on. So for creating an infra we gets the input from the user regarding the CIDR & Gateway IP etc and at that time they will choose the VPN details also(from a dropdown). After the deployment is succeeded we let the user download the configuration script based on the resource created and the VPN they chose earlier to make the S2S connection up. So the time the user enters the VPN details there won't be any resources created, only after they submit them we execute the ARM and creates them.

I just wanted to confirm this is possible or not because I'm coming from the AWS side. We're doing the same in AWS and is trying to add support for Azure also. There we do not need any extra parameters or anything for the GetVpnConnectionDeviceTypes method.

@Abhinandu V Nair , thank you for the update. Like I mentioned before, apart from the one mentioned in our previous comments, I don't believe there is any other API available to get the list of supported devices for Azure VPN Gateway. However, allow me some time to check again internally and get back to you on this.

MS provides list of devices for Azure VPN Gateway

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/vpn-gateway-about-vpn-devices

This list includes several VPN vendors and specific device models which are validated as compatible with Azure VPN. The documentation also includes configuration notes and guides for these devices.

There is no direct method to get this list like API or SDK but you can parse the site and create your own list in your app

Yes, I saw this list and thought about it or keeping it as a json file. But when I tried to download the the configuration script for an S2S connection from the Azure Portal the VPN vendors field had only limited items.

Followed these steps for the download : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/vpn-gateway-download-vpndevicescript
