Create Edge Transit Gateway Attachments
An Edge Transit Gateway can be attached to multiple Aviatrix gateways for hybrid, multicloud, and LAN connectivity.
-
For encrypted connectivity across network service providers (NSPs), such as Equinix and Megaport, and Datacenter fabric, create an Edge Transit Gateway to Edge Transit Gateway attachment.
-
For encrypted connectivity to cloud, create an Edge Transit Gateway to a Transit Gateway attachment.
-
For encrypted connectivity to remote site or on-premises, create an Edge Transit Gateway to an Edge Spoke Gateway attachment.
Attach an Edge Transit Gateway to Edge Transit Gateway
| If you want to use Jumbo Frames for the attachment peering connection between the Edge Gateways, make sure to enable Jumbo Frames on the Edge Gateways before you create the attachment. |
To attach an Edge Transit Gateway to an Edge Transit Gateway:
-
In Aviatrix CoPilot, go to Cloud Fabric > Hybrid Cloud > Edge Gateways > Transit Gateways tab.
-
Locate the Edge Transit Gateway to which you want to attach an Edge Transit Gateway, then click the Manage Gateway Attachments icon
on the right side of the row. -
In Manage Gateway Attachments > Transit Gateway tab, click + Attachment and provide the following information.
Field
Description
Transit Gateway
The remote Edge Transit Gateway to attach.
Local Edge Gateway Interface
The WAN interface of the local Edge Transit Gateway to use for the attachment.
Remote Edge Gateway Interface
The WAN interface of the remote Edge Transit Gateway to use for the attachment.
-
In the Advanced section, enter or select the following:
Field
Description
Attach Over
The connection between the Edge gateways. It can be over a Private Network or the Public Network.
-
On the Aviatrix Edge Platform (AEP), Edge Transit Gateway to Edge Transit Gateway peering for high performance encryption is supported over private and public networks.
-
On the Equinix and Megaport platforms, Edge Transit to Edge Transit peering for high performance encryption is supported over private network only .
-
Regular encryption is supported over both private and public networks for all environments.
Jumbo Frame
Jumbo Frame improves performance for the connection between the Edge gateways.
Jumbo Frame is applicable when the attachment is over a Private network.
To use Jumbo Frames for the connection , set Jumbo Frame toggle to On.
ActiveMesh
ActiveMesh enables full mesh peering between the local and remote Edge gateways.
For full mesh peering, turn ActiveMesh toggle On.
Number of HPE Tunnels
The number of High Performance Encryption (HPE) tunnels to create for the attachment peering. By default, a single tunnel is created.
-
Max Tunnels creates the maximum tunnels based on the gateway sizes and the number of interface IPs on the peering gateway.
This option is available only for connection over a Private network.
-
Custom allows you to specify the number of tunnels to create.
Excluded Network CIDRs
If you want to exclude CIDRs from the local Edge Gateway from being propagated to the remote Edge Gateway, set Excluded Network CIDRs toggle to On.
In Excluded Network CIDRs field, enter the CIDRs to be excluded.
-
-
To attach the Edge Transit Gateway to another Edge Transit Gateway, click + Attachment again and provide the required information.
You can attach an Edge Transit Gateway to multiple Edge Transit Gateways. Each attachment can be configured with different parameters, such as connecting WAN interfaces, connection over private or public networks, and enabling high-performance encryption.
