The Smart Access Gateway (SAG) app supports roaming, which allows clients to access private networks across areas for convenient cross-region connectivity to Alibaba Cloud.
Background information
Roaming replicates client account information from an SAG app instance to instances in other areas. After replication, clients can connect to Cloud Connect Network (CCN) instances in those areas and access Alibaba Cloud, enabling cross-region private network access for off-site employees.
Before you use the roaming feature, take note of 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.
