Listing Virtual Circuits

After you’ve created a virtual circuit, you can see a list of virtual circuits in your account.

Prerequisites

  • To complete this task, you must have the Compute_Monitor or Compute_Operations role. If this role isn’t assigned to you or you’re not sure, then ask your system administrator to ensure that the role is assigned to you in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic Console. See Modifying User Roles in Managing and Monitoring Oracle Cloud.

Procedure

  1. Sign in to the FastConnect Classic console. If your domain spans multiple sites, select the appropriate site. To change the site, click the Site menu near the top of the page.
  2. Click the Network tab.
  3. In the Network drop-down list, expand FastConnect, and then click Virtual Circuits.
A list of virtual circuits is displayed.

Updating a Virtual Circuit

After you’ve created a virtual circuit and the virtual circuit is provisioned, you can modify the parameters of the virtual circuit.

Prerequisites

  • To complete this task, you must have the Compute_Operations role. If this role isn’t assigned to you or you’re not sure, then ask your system administrator to ensure that the role is assigned to you in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic Console. See Modifying User Roles in Managing and Monitoring Oracle Cloud.

Procedure

  1. Sign in to the FastConnect Classic console. If your domain spans multiple sites, select the appropriate site. To change the site, click the Site menu near the top of the page.
  2. Click the Network tab.
  3. In the Network drop-down list, expand FastConnect, and then click Virtual Circuits.
  4. Go to the virtual circuit that you want to modify. From the menu icon menu, select Update.
  5. Update the information as required. Different fields appear on the console depending on the Connection Type that you have selected. If any of the following fields do not appear in the console, it indicates that those fields are not relevant for the selected Connection Type. Select or enter the following information based on the fields that appear.

    • Public IP prefixes: This field appears only if you are have selected the Circuit Type as Public. You can add or remove public IP prefixes. If you add a new prefix, Oracle first verifies your company's ownership before advertising it across the connection. These IPv4 prefixes must be registered to you in an IRR or RIR. If you remove a prefix, Oracle stops advertising the prefix within a few minutes of your editing the virtual circuit.

    • AT&T NetBond Service Key: This field appears only if you have selected AT&T Netbond as the Connection Type. Enter the service key that you have received from AT&T.

      When you order AT&T NetBond for Oracle FastConnect, AT&T generates a service key. Enter the value of this key.

    • Enter the following information to map the link that you have created to a router in Oracle Cloud. If you have created primary and secondary links to ensure high availability, specify the following information for both the links. When you set up two links between your network and Oracle Cloud, a redundant connection is established to FastConnect edge router which ensures high availability.

      • Your Router Interface IP: Enter the IP address of your network edge router for this VLAN in CIDR format.

      • Oracle Router Interface IP: Enter the IP address of the Oracle router for this VLAN in CIDR format.

      • VLAN: The VLAN ID that you want to use for this virtual circuit. Enter an integer between 100 and 4000. The VLAN ID must be unique.

      • Cross Connect: Select a cross connect that you have created.

    • Enter the following information for your BGP session:
      • Your BGP ASN: The public or private ASN for your network. If you use a public ASN, ensure that the ASN is registered to you. You can work with your Internet service provider or one of the registries to obtain an ASN.

        Note:

        If you do not have a registered public ASN, you can use private ASNs or use the fixed ASN provided by Oracle for configuring the network.

      • BGP MD5 Password: Enter the BGP MD5 password.

    • Only if you have selected Verizon as your Oracle FastConnect Partner, enter the following information that you have receive from Verizon. After you order Verizon SCI Connectivity for Oracle FastConnect and the service is provisioned, you’ll can see the network configuration information on the Verizon SCI portal. Provide the following information that’s available on the Verizon SCI portal.

      • Verizon BGPAS Number: Enter the Verizon BGP ASN.

      • Primary Verizon IPAddress: Enter the Verizon IP Address of Primary Router.

      • Secondary Verizon IPAddress: Enter the Verizon IP Address of Secondary Router.

      • Primary Verizon VLANID: Enter the Verizon VLAN ID of Primary Router.

      • Secondary Verizon VLANID: Enter the Verizon VLAN ID of Secondary Router.

      • Cloud Service Name: Enter Oracle FastConnect.

  6. Click Update. The virtual circuit is updated.

Deleting a Virtual Circuit

If you don’t need a virtual circuit any more, you can delete it.
