Scenarios

This section describes how to create an edge connection to allow subnets from central and HomeZones AZs in a VPC to communicate with each other through an internal network.

Procedure

2. Click the edge gateway name.

   The Basic Information tab is displayed.

3. Click the Edge Connections tab, and then click Create Edge Connection.

   The Create Edge Connection dialog box is displayed.

   Name	Mandatory Enter an edge connection name. The name: Can contain 1 to 64 characters. Can contain letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and periods (.).	-
   AZ	Mandatory Select an AZ to create an edge connection. Only one edge connection can be created for the AZs in the same network border group. AZs in the same network border group are in the same HomeZones region. You can select any AZ in a HomeZones region.	-
   Description	Optional Enter a description for the edge connection in the text box as required.	-

5. After the parameters are configured, click OK.

Follow-up Operations

You need to bind a global connection bandwidth to each edge connection to enable communications through an internal network. For details, see Binding a Global Connection Bandwidth to an Edge Connection.
