Hello, I'd like to configure a redundant connection to Azure using dot1q encapsulation. The documentation for migration from v3 to v4 states that we need to include "linkProtocol": { "type": "QINQ", "vlanSTag": 2002 }, in the zSide definition. That was not necessary in the v3 API. I'm not sure what the technical background for that value is. Specifically: Can we always use the same VLAN ID in connections to different Azure environments when using unique VLAN IDs on the aSide? Any help is appreciated.dirkf2 months agoLevel 1190Views1like2CommentsCrossplane - failure to delete port resource in Claim
I have created a Claim that includes a Device, Port, PortVlanAttachment and a Vlan. In order to create the Port I have to pass the Device Eth1 port UUID to the 'spec.forProvider.portId' of the Port Kind. This works and picks up the vlan info, but upon deleting the claim, the port is not deleted automatically as expected. The following event messages can be seen: Conflicting configuration arguments: "vlan_ids": conflicts with vxlan_ids Warning CannotObserveExternalResource 8s (x10 over 6m27s) managed/metal.equinix.jet.crossplane.io/v1alpha1, kind=port cannot run refresh: refresh failed: Conflicting configuration arguments: "vlan_ids": conflicts with vxlan_ids Conflicting configuration arguments: "vxlan_ids": conflicts with vlan_ids The spec of the object looks like this: Spec: Deletion Policy: Delete For Provider: Bonded: false Port Id: b561e487-fbb0-4a2c-98e7-22da331ed316 Vlan Ids: 73f648b5-9b6b-4076-a6ab-673aa45c7152 Vxlan Ids: 1000 Provider Config Ref: Name: default In order to resolve the issue I need to manually delete the resources finalizer.470Views2likes7CommentsCrossplane - Metal Vlan description not updated in UI

I’m having some trouble using the Equinix providers within a Claim and I’m not sure where the problem lies. The issue is that I am trying to take the ID uuid from the Devicestatus.atProvider.idand update astatus.idfield in my xrd claim, but the status never seems to get updated. This works fine with the AWS provider as an example. In my example I want to grab the UUID of the device and populate the Claim XRD's status.id field, but I do not see this population happening. I use the same technique with the upbound AWS provider so I know it is valid.

When running Terraform to provision and manage Equinix Fabric, Metal, and Network Edge, you may want to run Terraform from a restricted environment. Network filtering ACLs will need a predictable set of IP ranges to permit. This discussion will help you discover the IP services, ports, and address ranges your Terraform runner environment will need access to. We'll also discuss alternative ways to run Terraform configuration. If your ACLs permit the Terraform runner environment outbound HTTPS (TCP 443) and responses, that would cover everything Terraform needs to start provisioning infrastructure on Equinix. We'll assume we don't have unrestricted access and dig in a little further. Upon running, `terraform init`, Terraform will attempt to use DNS (UDP/TCP 53) services and HTTPS services to download provider plugins, such as the Equinix Terraform provider. The default host for fetching these plugins is registry.terraform.io, managed by Hashicorp. This is the defacto hub for public providers and published Terraform modules, although you may run your own local registry service. DNS for the Terraform registry points to CloudFront, a CDN whose addresses may change. If this presents a problem, there are options to download (or mirror) the necessary plugins in advance and use locally distributed copies. https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/plugins Similarly, the DNS service for api.equinix.com, the one base domain that the Terraform Equinix provider will need for API access, resolves to Akamai, another CDN whose addresses may change or depend on where the request originates. As a Terraform configuration grows, you'll likely want to enable SSH access to the Metal and NE nodes being provisioned to automate OS provisioning. The SSH addresses will vary depending on the Metro where services are deployed. One way to ensure that the addresses are predictable in Metal is to provision the servers usingElastic IP addresses. A good follow-up question to this discussion is which ranges are assigned to NE devices and whether these IP addresses can be drawn from a predefined pool like Metal's Elastic IP Addresses. Terraform configurations typically include resources from multiple cloud providers. The node where the configuration is run would need to permit access to the APIs of these other providers. We'll leave the network filters needed by provisioned nodes to another discussion. Depending on your needs, cloud service providers offer managed services for Terraform or OpenTofu (a fork of Terraform persisting the original open-source license). These services can run your Terraform configuration predictably and reliably from a central location. Hashicorp provides the HCP service. https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cloud-docs/run/run-environment Alternatives include: https://spacelift.io/ https://upbound.io https://www.env0.com/ https://www.scalr.com/ You can run similar CI/CD Terraform configuration control planes in your own backend with opensource tools such as: https://argoproj.github.io/cd/ https://www.crossplane.io/ https://docs.tofutf.io/ These SaaS providers or local solutions will also need access to the cloud provider APIs and nodes. With these providers you have full control of the configuration that is run and you can work these into a GitOps workflow. There are even more alternatives outside of the Terraform ecosystem. However, the Terraform ecosystem is your best option for the richest IaC integration experience with Equinix digital services. Equinix provides several Terraform modules to make it easy to get started. That extended ecosystem includes IaC tools that take advantage of the robust Equinix Terraform provider. These tools includePulumi and Crossplane. TLDR; You'll want to expose select DNS, HTTPS, and SSH access from your Terraform runners. What alternative deployment strategies did I miss? What other network restrictions should be considered?Marques4 months agoEquinix Employee563Views3likes0CommentsPodcast | Traceroute - Episode 8: When the lights go out

We cant able to apply the router filter policies(RFP) when the Peerings are down on FCR. By the time we apply the Filter policies, all routes learnt from peers are advertised to the other peers resulting in downtime due to loop(unwanted routing). Even if we are quick enough to apply the policies, Fabric backend can only able to process one Filter policy at a time. If you try to apply/save the other policies it gives you an error as FCR is in Transient state. As a best practice we need to have Filter policies enabled first and then turn on the BGP peering to avoid loops/sub optimal routing.1.9KViews1like3Comments- vstratford5 months agoEquinix Employee9.6KViews1like2Comments

I am using the equinix sandbox and followinghttps://developer.equinix.com/dev-docs/ecp/getting-started/schedule-shipments#step-4-schedule-inbound-shipment I am able to get a token, list users, list sites, etc. When I try to create an inbound shipment, I have the following $ curl -X POST "https://sandboxapi.equinix.com/colocations/v2/orders/shipments" -H "content-type: application/json" -H "authorization: Bearer TOKEN" -d @equinix-inbound.json -v < HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error < Content-Length: 187 < Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 < ETag: W/"bb-fFnLakTrYhk69LoXetj3crBTst4" < x-powered-by: Express < x-apigee-message-id: 79ff47bf-5867-4677-bf9c-02c3631e25ac < x-request-id: 79ff47bf-5867-4677-bf9c-02c3631e25ac < x-apigee-dp-color: 174 < x-apigee-region: us-west1 < x-apigee-organization: eqx-apg-prod < x-apigee-environment: extsbx < x-apigee-proxy: /organizations/eqx-apg-prod/environments/extsbx/apiproxies/uecp_colocations/revisions/2 < x-apigee-proxy-basepath: /colocations/v2/orders < x-apigee-fault-flag: false < x-apigee-fault-source: target < x-apigee-fault-code: messaging.adaptors.http.flow.ErrorResponseCode < x-apigee-fault-policy: null/null < x-apigee-fault-revision: /organizations/eqx-apg-prod/environments/extsbx/apiproxies/uecp_colocations/revisions/2 < x-apigee-target-latency: 3534 < x-envoy-upstream-service-time: 3566 < Server: istio-envoy < Date: Wed, 06 Mar 2024 13:34:33 GMT < Connection: close < Set-Cookie: ADRUM_BT=R:0|g:411f30ae-de4c-44c5-9117-45f0db7d858c211|h:e; Path=/; Expires=Wed, 06 Mar 2024 13:35:03 GMT < * Closing connection [{"errorCode":"EQ-2016101","errorMessage":"The server has encountered an unexpected error.

The cage id I use in my test is a real one. Regards tomasSolved1.9KViews0likes3CommentsDocumentation of Route Filter Policies
How to create route policies to filter routes between 2 CSP. I could see all the routes learned from vWAN are advertised to AWS using BGP peerings on Fabric Cloud Router. I dont see any documenation in Equinix portal about Fabric filter policies. I see the below error when trying to creating a policy at the first step too."Route Filter Policy Name" Error:Invalid input.Solved2KViews1like3CommentsError 503 Shipments v1 Pending Storage
Recently I have been having issues with the Shipments v1 endpoint for pending storage (https://api.equinix.com/v1/orders/shipment/pendingStorage), receiving 503 service unavailable. Searching the catalog, there is no 503 defined so not entirely sure what this error is stating. Looking to see if this is a bug or if the endpoint was deprecated without notice.

Hi guys, With the 'Equinix Connect Single-Homed Direct (Provider Assigned IP)' service are there open ports? I have a Fortgate Firewall connected with the internet facing port configured to the Equinix supplied IP Address and have no problem getting internet through it and using NAT for a couple of device clients behind firewall, but I can't open a SSL VPN connection to the Firewall router. Are all ports closed by default? Thanks for your help, EdSolved1.7KViews0likes2CommentsEdge Service and Virtual Circuit Traffic Summary
Hello everyone, We're using Virtual circuits between Fabric ports & Edge virtual devices, it works fine but still it's impossible to get the link usage statistics as for other circuits. Any news about that option that is missing? Thanks🙂Khryssee7 months agoLevel 416KViews1like10Comments
