Creating a direct trunk
You cannot create a trunk manually via the CLI or API. Creating any trunks is the prerogative of our support team.

Setting up a direct trunk
In this tutorial, we will set up a direct trunk.
Getting started
- See our guides to learn how this service works.
- Select a point of presence for the trunk.
- Select the type of an optical transceiver for Yandex Cloud equipment cross-connection in the point of presence. We will reserve a compatible transceiver port for you on the Yandex Cloud endpoint. You will need to buy a compatible transceiver to install on your endpoint.
- Select the connection capacity.
- If you work with a Yandex Cloud solution architect, discuss with them and agree on a Yandex Cloud Interconnect service setup plan.
Contacting support for a new partner trunk
Create a new support ticket to reserve a port on the Yandex Cloud equipment and set up a trunk.
Follow this request format:
Where:
client: Company name.folder-id: ID of the folder that will receive Cloud Interconnect monitoring metrics.point of presence: Point of presence code.transceiver type: Type of a cross connect transceiver.connection capacity: Bandwidth in Mbps.
Support team's response to the your ticket
Once the trunk setup has been completed, the support team will send you the following information.
Support response example:
Where:
trunk_id: New Cloud Interconnect trunk ID.pop: Point of presence code.rack: Yandex Cloud equipment location at the point of presence.unit: Number between 1 and 45 that shows where your equipment is located in the Yandex Cloud rack.port: Number between 1 and 48 specifying the port number for cross connection.
Monitoring the trunk status
Use the monitoring service to track when the physical port of the trunk on the Yandex Cloud endpoint transitions to the operational state. If there are any issues, contact support for diagnostics and troubleshooting.
A private or public connection can only be established after the physical port of the trunk becomes operational.
