Site-to-Site VPN Network Diagrams

Site-to-site VPN network diagrams illustrate secure connections between networks, such as headquarters, branch offices, data centers, and cloud environments. These diagrams help network engineers and architects visualize VPN tunnels, routing, and security gateways.

How to

How to use a network diagram template.

  1. 01List the sites and endpoints

    Identify all locations you need to connect, such as HQ, branch offices, data centers, or cloud VPCs.

  2. 02Add network devices

    Drag and drop routers, firewalls, or VPN concentrators onto the canvas for each site.

  3. 03Draw VPN tunnels

    Connect devices with lines representing IPsec or other VPN protocols, marking them as encrypted tunnels.

  4. 04Annotate details

    Label IP addresses, subnet ranges, tunnel interfaces, and routing protocols to clarify the design.

  5. 05Review and export

    Validate the topology, then share or export your diagram for documentation or presentations.

FAQ

Questions about network diagram templates

What is a site-to-site VPN network diagram?

A site-to-site VPN network diagram is a visual representation of encrypted connections between two or more networks, showing the devices, tunnels, and routing paths involved.

What elements should I include in a site-to-site VPN diagram?

Include network devices (routers, firewalls), VPN tunnels with labels, IP address spaces, and any redundancy or failover paths.

Can I diagram a VPN between cloud and on-premises?

Yes, many diagrams show connections between public cloud VPCs and on-premises data centers, often using IPsec VPN gateways.

What are common topologies for site-to-site VPNs?

Common topologies include hub-and-spoke (central HQ to branches), full mesh (all sites interconnected), and redundant dual-gateway designs for high availability.
