Configuring a Direct Connect Dedicated Connection

A Direct Connect dedicated connection can support up to 50 public or private virtual interfaces and up to four transit virtual interfaces. The total number of VIFs cannot exceed 51 per dedicated connection. The configuration requires a physical cross connect between a Port and a Direct Connect port and a Virtual Cross Connect (VXC) between the Port connected to the Direct Connect port and a second Port.

To create a Direct Connect dedicated connection

1. Provision a Direct Connect port in the AWS Console and designate Megaport as the vendor.

2. Download an LOA from AWS.

3. Provision a Port in the same data center as the Direct Connect port.

4. Contact your Megaport Account Manager to set up a physical cross connect from the Direct Connect port to the Port.

5. Configure a private VXC to connect the Port attached to the Direct Connect port to a second Port in a different data center.

This connection is not set up exclusively through the Megaport Portal, but instead requires direct coordination with your Megaport Account Manager.
