Getting Information About Your Customer Gateways Using AWS CLI

To get information about one or more customer gateways, use the describe-customer-gateways command following this syntax:

Request sample
$ aws ec2 describe-customer-gateways \
    --profile YOUR_PROFILE \
    [--filters NOT_SPECIFIED] \
    --endpoint https://fcu.eu-west-2.outscale.com

This command contains the following attributes that you need to specify:

  • (optional) profile: The named profile you want to use, created when configuring AWS CLI. For more information, see Installing and Configuring AWS CLI.

  • (optional) customer-gateway-ids: The ID of one or more customer gateways you want to get information about.

  • (optional) filters: One or more filters, in the "Name=X,Values=Y" format.

    You can specify several values for a same filter using the "Name=X,Values=Y, Z" format.

    The following filters are available:

  • state: The state of the customer gateways (pending | available | deleting | deleted). For more information, see About Customer Gateways.

  • customer-gateway-id: The ID of the customer gateway.

  • ip-address: The public IP of the customer gateway.

  • bgp-asn: An Autonomous System Number (ASN) used by the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to find the path to your customer gateway through the Internet. For more information, see About Customer Gateways.

  • type: The type of VPN connection the customer gateway supports (always ipsec.1).

  • tag-key: The key of a tag associated with the resource.

  • tag-value: The value of a tag associated with the resource.

  • tag:XXXX: The value of a tag associated with the resource, where XXXX is the key of the tag.

To filter a tag whose key is XXXX and value is YYYY, you can therefore use either of the following two formats:

  • --filters Name=tag-key,Values=XXXX Name=tag-value,Values=YYYY

  • --filters Name=tag:XXXX,Values=YYYY

  • endpoint: The endpoint corresponding to the Region you want to send the request to.

The describe-customer-gateways command returns the following elements:

  • CustomerGateway: Information about one or more customer gateways. This element contains the following information:

  • Tags: One or more tags associated with the customer gateway. This element contains the following information:

    • Key: The key of the tag.

    • Value: The value of the tag.

  • Type: The type of VPN connection the customer gateway supports (always ipsec.1).

  • State: The state of the customer gateway (pending | available | deleting | deleted). For more information, see About Customer Gateways.

  • CustomerGatewayId: The ID of the customer gateway.

  • BgpAsn: An Autonomous System Number (ASN) used by the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to find the path to your customer gateway through the Internet. For more information, see About Customer Gateways.

  • IpAddress: The public IP of the customer gateway.
