Devices

You can represent your on-premises network in your global network through sites, devices, and links. For more information, see Define and associate your on-premises network. You can then associate a device with a site and one or more links.

You can also create a device to represent a virtual appliance in your AWS network. For more information, see Connection between devices.

A device is created for a specific global network and cannot be shared with other global networks.
