Abstract
A method, computer program product, and a device for establishing a direct communications connection between gateways of two computing systems includes a processor(s) of a first system receiving configuration instructions in a generic format and translating the configuration instructions into a first set of gateway configuration commands that are in a format compatible with a first gateway of the first system. The processor(s) executes the first set to configure the first gateway. The processor(s) transmits, via a communication protocol, the configuration instructions, to a program(s) of a second computing systems, the program(s) translates the configuration instructions into a second set of gateway configuration commands, in a format compatible with the second gateway, and executes the second set to configure the second gateway. The processor(s) establishes a direct communications connection between the first gateway and the second gateway, based on the configurations matching.
