Can we change GCP Cloud VPN default parameters?


I am trying to set up a site-to-site IPSec tunnel with Google Cloud Platform.

The On-Prem data-centre engineers have asked if we can increase IKEv2 Phase 1 lifetime from 36,000 to 86,400 seconds.

However, it does not appear to be a setting that can be changed; not via GCP Console and not in Terraform/Ansible docs. Does any one know any API instructions to modify this?

The Params are shown on the link below:

Will greatly appreciate any help/suggestion on this.

thank you


Solution

  • Since this was a pressing issue for our project, we decided to contact GCP Support and we got the following confirmations:

    They also confirmed that in GCP you can’t adjust any Cloud VPN settings, that’s why you need to abide by GCP’s values/configuration recommendations

    For me, it is reasonable since GCP provides a range of parameters compatible with various systems.

    I will update the title of this question and mark as resolved.
