Where:
trunk_id
: Trunk ID you got from support in the previous step.vlan_id
: Private trunk connection 802.1QVLAN-ID
. This value is selected by the customer. It must be different fromVLAN-ID
values of other private connections in this trunk.peering_subnet
: Point-to-point subnet for BGP peering. This value is selected by the customer.peer_ip
: Customer endpoint IP address on the point to point BGP peering subnet. This value is selected by the customer.cloud_ip
: Yandex Cloud endpoint IP address on the point-to-point BGP peering subnet. This value is selected by the customer.peer_bgp_asn
: Customer endpoint BGP ASN in ASPlain format. This value is selected by the customer.vpc_net_id
: ID of the Yandex Virtual Private Cloud network for a private connection.vpc_subnets
: List of IPv4 subnet prefixes grouped by Yandex Cloud availability zones. The resources in these subnets will only be accessible through your private connection. These prefixes will be announced over BGP from Yandex Cloud to the customer endpoint.folder_id
(optional): Folder to store private connection monitoring metrics. If left empty, monitoring metrics will be stored in the folder you specified when creating the trunk.
Support team's response to your ticket
Once the new private connection has been added, the support team will message you its ID

Private connection status monitoring
- Use the monitoring service to see when your private connection BGP session starts on the Yandex Cloud endpoint.
- The support team will notify you once they finish configuring BGP announcements for the subnet prefixes you requested. It may take up to two business days to configure BGP announcements.
- Check whether the cloud resources are accessible from your endpoint through the new private connection and inform the support team about the results.
- If there are any IP connectivity issues, contact support for diagnostics and troubleshooting.
