Devices in AWS Cloud WAN

Devices represent a physical or virtual appliance. When you add a device to your core network, you can include optional information such as vendor, model and serial number to help you more easily identify the device.

In addition, you'll indicate whether the device is on-premises or in the AWS Cloud. If the device is on-premises you can specify optional information such as physical address. If the device is in the AWS Cloud, you can specify the zone, subnet ID, latitude and longitude, and physical address. Tags are also used to more help you identify this Network Manager resource.

Once added to your global network, a device can then be associated with a site. Before you can associate the device with a site using a link, you must first create the site. For more information on creating sites and linking the site to a device, see Sites and links in AWS Cloud WAN.
