Creating a VXC to an MVE Integrated with Versa
This topic describes how to connect a Virtual Cross Connect (VXC) to Megaport Virtual Edge (MVE) integrated with Versa Secure 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 24 VXCs on a single MVE.
To create a VXC to a cloud service provider
- In the Megaport ONE Portal, choose Networking > Services.
- Select the MVE you want to use.
If you haven’t already created an MVE, see Creating an MVE. - Click Actions and select Add Connection.
The New Connection screen displays the MVE name and A-End details. -
Choose Cloud Virtual Cross Connect as your Connection Type.
For specific CSP configuration details:
- AWS Direct Connect – See Creating MVE Connections to AWS.
- Azure Express Route – See Creating MVE Connections to Azure using ExpressRoute.
- Google Cloud – See Creating MVE Connections to Google.
For Oracle and other CSPs, see Creating MVE Connections to Any Endpoint.
Connecting MVE to MVE
In the Megaport ONE Portal, 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 edge MVEs via the Megaport fabric, without traversing the public internet for the MVE to MVE connectivity. For specific configuration details, see Connecting MVE to MVE.
Deleting a VXC
You can delete a VXC directly from the Megaport ONE Portal.
Note
A transit Virtual Cross Connect (VXC) provides internet connectivity and allows MVE to register and communicate with the Versa SD-WAN overlay network. You cannot modify or delete the transit VXC. Deleting an MVE automatically deletes its associated transit VXC. For details on deleting an MVE, see Deleting an MVE.
To delete a VXC
- In the Megaport ONE Portal, choose Networking > Services.
- Click the gear icon
next to the MVE you want to terminate and select Delete Service.
The Terminate Services window appears. Early termination charges are shown here, if applicable.
- Type DELETE in all caps and click Delete to confirm.
The VXC is deleted from the Megaport network.
