AWS Storage Gateway User Guide
Creating a Gateway
For activation, you can use the public or private IP address assigned to a gateway. You must be able
to reach the IP address that you use from the browser from which you perform the activation. In this
walkthrough, we use the public IP address to activate the gateway.
To associate your gateway with your AWS account
1. If the
Connect to gateway
page isn't already open, open the console and navigate to that page.
2. Type the IP address of your gateway for
IP address
, and then choose
Connect gateway
.
For detailed information about how to get a gateway IP address, see
Activating Your Gateway
When your gateway VM is deployed and running, you can configure your gateway settings and activate
your gateway. If activation fails, check that the IP address you entered is correct. If the IP address
is correct, confirm that your network is configured to let your browser access the gateway VM. For
more information on troubleshooting, see
