Attach Edge Gateway to Transit Gateway

You can attach an Edge Gateway to multiple Transit Gateways. Each attachment can be configured with different parameters, such as connecting interfaces, connection over private or public network, high-performance encryption, and Jumbo Frame.

  • To create a High Performance Encryption mode attachment, make sure the Transit Gateway is created with High Performance Encryption enabled.

  • If you want Jumbo Frame enabled on the Edge Gateway, make sure to enable Jumbo Frame on the Edge Gateway before you attach it to the Transit Gateway.

In Aviatrix CoPilot:

  1. Go to Cloud Fabric > Edge > Gateways tab.

  2. Locate the Edge Gateway, click the three-dot vertical menu on the right, and select Manage Transit Gateway Attachment.
