Error creating VPN gateway

Question

Error creating VPN gateway

Cavan Vannice 20

Long story short. We are downgrading our VPN gateway to basic. We've moved most of our systems to PAAS and only need limited VPN usage. I deleted the old VPN gateway and am I trying to create a new one with the below command

# === Create new Basic VPN Gateway ===
az network vnet-gateway create `
  --name $newGateway `
  --public-ip-address $publicIP `
  --resource-group $resourceGroup `
  --vnet $vnetName `
  --gateway-type Vpn `
  --vpn-type RouteBased `
  --sku Basic `
  --location $location `
  --no-wait

When I run that I am getting the following error

(OperationFailureErrors) The operation failed due to following errors: '["The vpn gateway deployment operation failed due to an intermittent error. Please try again."]'.
Code: OperationFailureErrors
Message: The operation failed due to following errors: '["The vpn gateway deployment operation failed due to an intermittent error. Please try again."]'.

No details, no explanation. Not sure what to do now. I pay for developer support, but cannot create a ticket.

@Rohith Vinnakota Your note on Basic IP being required solved my issue. I was creating a standard IP address, because basic is being replaced.

Hello @Cavan Vannice,

Yes, Basic SKU public IP addresses are being phased out. However, while creating the Basic VPN gateway, it requires the Basic IP. We will provide the migration path from Basic to Standard IP afterward.

Refer this doc:

Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
