Configuring Your Network Routers

After creating a virtual circuit, configure your network edge routers. If you are connecting through an Oracle FastConnect Partner, ensure that you have contacted your Oracle FastConnect Partner account manager to order the service that’ll connect your network to FastConnect Classic.

  • If applicable, configure Border Gateway Protocol routing on your network edge routers using the information you receive from Oracle or your Oracle FastConnect Partner. For more information about BGP routing, see the Virtual Circuit Summary page.

  • If applicable, manage your routing policy to prefer AS7160 for traffic to the network addresses pertaining to your Oracle service. Autonomous System Number for Oracle is AS7160. Oracle may change the ASN for specific locations, so refer to the Virtual Circuit Summary page for the correct ASN.

  • Accept the IPv4 prefixes that are advertised by Oracle over the BGP peer with your routers. When the session is established between your routers and Oracle routers, you will be able to see the IPv4 prefixes advertised by Oracle.

  • If you have set up a redundant connection, configure the redundant connection in active or standby failover configuration. Configure your network router to pass traffic through only one connection at a time. The secondary connection is used only if the connection through the primary link or router fails.

  • Complete any additional configurations within your network, which you may require, to manage the traffic flow through FastConnect Classic.

You can now access your Oracle Cloud services using FastConnect Classic.
