 # Create a route-based VPN gateway using CLI
 
-This article helps you quickly create a route-based Azure VPN gateway using the Azure CLI. A VPN gateway is used when creating a VPN connection to your on-premises network. You can also use a VPN gateway to connect VNets.
+This article helps you quickly create a route-based Azure VPN gateway using the Azure CLI. A VPN gateway is used when creating a VPN connection to your on-premises network. You can also use a VPN gateway to connect VNets. 
 
 In this article you'll create a VNet, a subnet, a gateway subnet, and a route-based VPN gateway (virtual network gateway). Creating a gateway can often take 45 minutes or more, depending on the selected gateway SKU. Once the gateway creation has completed, you can then create connections. These steps require an Azure subscription.
 
+A VPN gateway is just one part of a connection architecture to help you securely access resources within a virtual network.

For example, you can create [site-to-site](tutorial-site-to-site-portal.md) and [point-to-site](point-to-site-about.md) connections. To view different design architectures that you can build, see [VPN gateway design](design.md).

 ## Before you begin
 
 The steps in this article will create a VNet, a subnet, a gateway subnet, and a route-based VPN gateway (virtual network gateway). Once the gateway creation has completed, you can then create connections. These steps require an Azure subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a [free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/?WT.mc_id=A261C142F) before you begin.
