# AWS Site-to-Site VPN architectural scenarios
<a name="site-site-architectures"></a>

The following are scenarios in which you might create multiple VPN connections with one or more customer gateway devices.

**Multiple VPN connections using the same customer gateway device**  
You can create additional VPN connections from your on-premises location to other VPCs using the same customer gateway device. You can reuse the same customer gateway IP address for each of those VPN connections.

**Multiple customer gateway devices to a single virtual private gateway (Site-to-Site VPN CloudHub)**  
You can establish multiple VPN connections to a single virtual private gateway from multiple customer gateway devices. This enables you to have multiple locations connected to the AWS VPN CloudHub. For more information, see [Secure communication between AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections using VPN CloudHub](VPN_CloudHub.md). When you have customer gateway devices at multiple geographic locations, each device should advertise a unique set of IP ranges specific to the location. 

**Redundant VPN connection using a second customer gateway device**  
To protect against a loss of connectivity if your customer gateway device becomes unavailable, you can set up a second VPN connection using a second customer gateway device. For more information, see [Redundant AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections for failover](vpn-redundant-connection.md). When you establish redundant customer gateway devices at a single location, both devices should advertise the same IP ranges.
