Customer gateway associations - AWS Network Manager

Customer gateway associations

To add your on-premises network to your global network, you associate a customer gateway with your device, and optionally, a link. The customer gateway must already be in your global network as part of a VPN attachment in your transit gateway. If you specify a link, it must already be associated with the specified device.

For more information about creating a customer gateway, see Create a Customer Gateway in the AWS Site-to-Site VPN User Guide. For more information about creating a VPN attachment to a transit gateway, see Transit Gateway VPN Attachments in Amazon VPC Transit Gateways.

For more information about viewing the topology of your on-premises network in Network Manager, see Visualize transit gateway networks />.
