# Associate or disassociate an on-premises link in an AWS Cloud WAN global network
Associate or disassociate an on-premises link

Associate or disassociate an on-premises device link association in your Cloud WAN global network.

You can only associate one link with a customer gateway. If a link is already associated with a customer gateway, and you want to use that link with another gateway, you must first disassociate the link the gateway it's currently associated with.

**To create an on-premises association**

1. Access the Network Manager console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/networkmanager/home/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/networkmanager/home).

1. Under **Connectivity**, choose **Global Networks**.

1. On the **Global networks** page, choose the global network ID.
