Adding New Peering Sessions

After setting up FastConnect Classic, you can create additional public or private peering sessions based on your requirement. For every additional peering session, create a virtual circuit.

To create an additional peering session, complete the following tasks:

1. Decide if you want to create an additional private or public peering session.

   When you establish a private peering session with FastConnect Classic edge routers, you can extend your on-premise private networks to the Oracle Cloud. See Peering Types.

2. If you want to create an additional private peering session, you must create a private gateway.

   1. While creating a private gateway, specify the names of the IP networks that you want to associate with this private gateway. You can access instances on the IP networks associated with the private gateway over the private peering with FastConnect Classic. See Creating a Private Gateway in Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute Classic.

   2. Note down the name of your private gateway. You’ll need to provide this name when you set up your connection.

   3. (Optional.) Create ACLs that are applied to the traffic that passes through this gateway. See Managing ACLs in Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute Classic.

3. Create a virtual circuit for every additional peering session. You can create a new virtual circuit on existing cross connects that you are already using.
