Scenarios

After a private NAT gateway is created, assign a transit IP address, so that servers in your VPC can share the transit IP address to communicate with on-premises data centers or other VPCs.

Prerequisites

• There are transit VPCs and transit subnets available.
• A Direct Connect connection has been created with the VPC CIDR block set to 0.0.0.0/0. For details, see Create a Virtual Gateway.
