# Associate or disassociate a Connect peer using AWS Network Manager
Associate or disassociate a Connect peer

Associate or disassociate a Connect peer device link association in your AWS global network.

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

**To create a Connect peer 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.

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Devices**.

   The link is available to use immediately.
