How do I connect to an external device?

There are three options to connect a Transit Gateway to an on-prem network. Choose one option that meets your network requirements.

  • AWS VGW (This is the default setting)

  • External Device (over Direct Connect or over Internet)

  • Azure VNG

Currently, only one connection is supported on a specific Transit Gateway/VPC, regardless of which of the three options above is chosen.
