Creating a trunk
Creating a direct trunk
Getting started
Before creating a trunk:
- Select a point of presence. For fault tolerance, we recommend setting up trunks at two points of presence.
- Select connection capacity.
- Select optical transceiver type. Your hardware must have a compatible transceiver installed.
- If you have no equipment at the selected point of presence, arrange with your telecom provider to establish connectivity up to that point.
-
In the management console, select the folder where you want to create a trunk.
-
Navigate to Cloud Interconnect.
-
In the left-hand panel, select Trunk connections.
-
Click Create support request.
If the folder has trunks already, click the Contact link in the info section above the trunk list.
This will open the New ticket form. It has Cloud Interconnect and the [CIC] Create trunk connection subject preselected for you.
-
Write a request to allocate a port on the Yandex Cloud hardware and create a direct trunk. Specify the following:
- Your company name.
- ID of the folder to create a trunk in.
- Point of presence code.
- Transceiver type for cross-connection.
- Connection capacity.
-
Click Create ticket.
Once the trunk is created, support will communicate to you its ID and allocated port details.
Set up a physical connection
After you create a trunk:
- Get information about the new trunk and save the trunk ID, point of presence, and port details.
The cross-connect to Yandex Cloud equipment must be made by the technical staff at the point of presence. Monitor the status of the physical connection using monitoring. Private and public connections can be created after the physical port becomes operational.
