# Create Edge Transit Gateway Attachments

> An Edge Transit Gateway can be attached to multiple Aviatrix gateways for hybrid, multicloud, and LAN connectivity.

<a id="edge-transit-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](#attach-an-edge-transit-gateway-to-edge-transit-gateway).

* For encrypted connectivity to cloud,
  [create an Edge Transit Gateway to a Transit Gateway attachment](#attach-an-edge-transit-gateway-to-transit-gateway).

* 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-spoke-gateway).

## Attach an Edge Transit Gateway to Edge Transit Gateway

<Note>
  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 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, set **ActiveMesh** toggle **On**.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
   | Number of HPE Tunnels         | The number of High Performance Encryption (HPE) tunnels to create for the attachment peering. **Single** creates a single tunnel. **Maximum** 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.                                                                                                                                             |

4. To attach the Edge Transit Gateway to another Edge Spoke Gateway, click **+
   Attachment** again and provide the required information.

   You can attach an Edge Transit Gateway to multiple Spoke 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.
