Smart Access Gateway (SAG) APP supports the roaming feature. Roaming allows clients to access private networks across areas. This way, you can remotely access resources on Alibaba Cloud at any time.

Background information

This feature enables employees that work off-site to remotely access the private networks of their companies. Roaming can replicate information about client accounts added to an SAG APP instance to SAG APP instances deployed in other areas. After the information is replicated, the clients can connect to Cloud Connect Network (CCN) instances in these areas and then connect to Alibaba Cloud. This way, the clients can access their private networks across areas.

Before you use the roaming feature, note the following limits:

  • Within the same area, you cannot replicate information about client accounts among SAG APP instances.
  • The CIDR blocks of the private networks attached to the source and destination SAG APP instances cannot overlap with each other.
  • The client accounts from which information is replicated have not been added to the destination SAG APP instance.
