**To associate a virtual interface with a connection**

The following example associates the specified virtual interface with the specified LAG. Alternatively, to associate the virtual interface with a connection, specify the ID of an AWS Direct Connect connection for ``--connection-id``; for example, ``dxcon-ffnikghc``.

Command::

  aws directconnect associate-virtual-interface --connection-id dxlag-ffjhj9lx --virtual-interface-id dxvif-fgputw0j
  
Output::
