Creating a VXC to an MVE Integrated with Cisco SD-WAN
This topic describes how to connect a Virtual Cross Connect (VXC) to Megaport Virtual Edge (MVE) integrated with Cisco SD-WAN.
With MVE configured, you can create VXCs to connect to services on the Megaport network without the need for any physical infrastructure. A VXC is essentially a private point-to-point Ethernet connection between an A-End (your MVE) and a B-End (one of the destination types).
A VXC is mapped with a VLAN ID on each end.
You can order VXCs to reach any destination in the Megaport network. You can connect up to 25 VXCs on a single MVE.
- In the Megaport ONE Portal, choose Networking > Services.
- Select the Cisco MVE you want to use.
If you haven’t already created an MVE, see Creating an MVE Integrated with Cisco Overview. -
Click Actions and select Add Connection.
The New Connection screen displays the MVE name and A-End details. -
Select the Cloud VXC connection type and select a cloud destination.
-
Cloud Provider – Provision a dedicated interconnect to a public cloud service provider. After selecting Cloud VXC, select a provider. Some providers require a service key.

Connecting MVE to MVE
In vManage, you can create a VXC (interconnect connectivity) between MVEs at two or more Megaport locations. The VXC links the SD-WAN branch locations connected to these MVEs via the Megaport fabric. For specific configuration details, see Connecting MVEs Integrated with Cisco SD-WAN.
Deleting a VXC
You can terminate a VXC directly from vManage.
To delete a VXC (interconnect connectivity)
-
In vManage, select Configuration > Cloud OnRamp for Multi-Cloud.
-
Choose Interconnect Connectivity.
-
Choose a Megaport ONE account.
-
Select the interconnect gateway and click the ellipsis (…).
-
Select Delete.
