Connect to Your On-premise Network using FastConnect or VPN Connect

If you want to access an Oracle Analytics Cloud instance that is deployed with a private endpoint in an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure VCN from your on-premise network, you must peer your on-premise network with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure VCN. You can use FastConnect or VPN to peer your on-premise network with a VCN on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Typically, these tasks are performed by the network administrator responsible for the on-premise network and the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure network. You can complete these steps before or after you create your Oracle Analytics Cloud instance.

  1. In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, navigate to the Additional Details tab to determine the Hostname of your Oracle Analytics Cloud instance.
  2. Peer your on-premise network with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure VCN through FastConnect or VPN Connect.
  3. In your on-premise network, configure a suitable host name resolution solution for Oracle Analytics Cloud.

    Several options are available to you:

    • (Testing purposes only) From a client machine in your on-premise network, add a host name entry in the /etc/hosts file for Oracle Analytics Cloud.

      For example, add a new line in the format: <IP_address> <hostname>. Enter the hostname and IP address that you copied in Step 1. For example: 192.0.2.1 oac-xxxxxxxxxxxm-ia.analytics.ocp.oraclecloud.com

    • Add a DNS record in your on-premise intranet DNS server (Domain Name System) for Oracle Analytics Cloud, that is, specify the host name for Oracle Analytics Cloud and its private IP address.
    • Set up a hybrid DNS solution. For example, see Hybrid DNS configuration using DNS VM in OCI VCN.
      1. Configure your on-premise intranet DNS server with conditional DNS forwarding to the DNS server configured in the VCN, and specify the host name for Oracle Analytics Cloud.
      2. Configure your on-premise intranet DNS server with DNS forwarding to the DNS server configured in the VCN, and specify the entire Oracle Analytics Cloud hostname that you copied in Step 1.
  4. Test that you can access Oracle Analytics Cloud from your on-premise network.

    If required, use Network Path Analyzer to troubleshoot connectivity issues. See Troubleshoot Connectivity Issues Using Network Path Analyzer.
