Modify AWS Cloud WAN networks
After setting up your AWS Cloud WAN global and core networks set up, you can further modify these networks by performing a number of different tasks.
Note
Modifying a global network or a core network requires that both be set up first. If you haven't yet created either, see Quick start: Create an AWS Cloud WAN global network and core network for the steps to create a global or core network.
Tasks you can perform to modify your global and core networks include:
-
Add attachments.
Add Connect, Site-to-Site VPN, VPC, or transit gateway route table attachments. In addition, you can create Connect peers.
-
Create a policy version.
Create and deploy a version of any policy to become your new core network. You can create a policy version through either the Network Manager console or by modifying a JSON file.
-
Add sites, devices, and links.
Add representations of physical devices and sites to your global network. You can then create a link that associates a device and a site.
-
Register transit gateways.
Register transit gateways you've created in Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with your Cloud WAN network. This allows you to view and monitor transit gateway resources within the network.
-
Create a peering.
Create a peering connection to enable communication between your core network and transit gateways.
-
Share your core network.
Share your core network across accounts or across your organizations. You can set permissions to allow users to view and modify network resources.
-
Share attachments.
Share your VPC and transit gateway route table attachments from your shared core network. You can set permissions to allow users to create new VPC or transit gateway route table attachments.
-
Access network dashboards.
Cloud WAN includes separate global network, core network, transit gateway network, and transit gateway dashboards. On these dashboards you can view logical trees and geographic maps of your networks, which includes attachments, sites and devices. You can also view monitoring and events dashboards, allowing you to view Amazon CloudWatch metrics and to set threshold alarms on these metrics.
