## Topology

The following diagram shows an example of network connectivity for Aviatrix Edge
Spoke Gateway to Transit Gateway in AWS. This topology shows Aviatrix Edge Spoke
Gateway connection to an upstream WAN router which is used to terminate CSP
underlay private connections.

The topology below shows Aviatrix Edge Spoke Gateway used to terminate CSP
underlay private connections (which does not require upstream WAN router).

<Note>
  Aviatrix Edge Spoke Gateway requires the latest versions of Aviatrix
  Controller 7.1 and Aviatrix Edge Image 7.1 or higher to support BGP underlay
  connectivity to CSP.

## Prerequisites

Before you deploy an Aviatrix Edge Spoke Gateway on the Equinix platform, ensure
the

<a href={"/docs/enterprise/" + "10.1" + "/reference/gateways/edge/edge-spoke-transit-planning#equinix"}>prerequisite steps</a>
are complete.

## Deploy the Primary Edge Spoke Gateway (Equinix)

To deploy an Edge Spoke Gateway, first you need to generate the cloud-init file
in CoPilot, then deploy the Edge gateway in Equinix using the cloud-init file:

1. [Create the Primary Edge Spoke Gateway cloud-init ZTP file](https://legacy.docs.aviatrix.com/documentation/latest/network/edge-spoke-create-equinix.html).
2. [Deploy the Edge Spoke Gateway in Equinix using the cloud-init ZTP file](https://legacy.docs.aviatrix.com/documentation/latest/network/edge-vm-create-equinix.html).
3. [Verify the Edge Spoke Gateway creation](https://legacy.docs.aviatrix.com/documentation/latest/network/edge-create-verify.html).

## Next Steps

* For high availability (HA) and redundancy, you can create and deploy HA Edge
  Spoke Gateway. See
  [Deploy a HA Edge Spoke Gateway (Equinix)](https://legacy.docs.aviatrix.com/documentation/latest/network/edge-spoke-ha-create-equinix.html).

* For hybrid, multicloud, or LAN-side connectivity, you can attach the Edge
  gateway to multiple Aviatrix gateways. See

  <a href={"/docs/enterprise/" + "10.1" + "/guides/connectivity/edge/edge-spoke-attachments"}>Edge Gateway Attachments</a>
  .

* For remote site connectivity, you can connect the Edge gateway to remote
  devices. See
  [Edge Gateway External Connection](https://legacy.docs.aviatrix.com/documentation/latest/network/edge-connect-external-device.html).
