I am able to successfully create a connection to "AWS Direct Connect" via the APIs. However, the docs recommends in step 5: 5. Validate your AWS Account ID Use the Validate Connection Authorization Key API request to verify that your AWS Account ID can be used to create a connection to the selected service profile in the given metro. Doing a POST to /fabric/v4/connections/validate   { "filter": { "and": [ { "property": "/zSide/accessPoint/authenticationKey", "operator": "=", "values": [ "123456789" ] }, { "property": "/zSide/accessPoint/profile/uuid", "operator": "=", "values": [ "69ee618d-be52-468d-bc99-00566f2dd2b9" ] } ] } }   and it always returns a 400 Bad Request   [ { "errorCode": "EQ-3142601", "errorMes

When setting up an Azure ExpressRoute, how is the redundant connection configured? Do I create 2 separate connections, and have one be redundant.priority PRIMARY, and the other SECONDARY? What's the difference between the "redundancy" in the connection, and the "redundancy" under the aside/zside port configuration?

Enterprises or cloud providers can deploy the Cisco Catalyst 8000V as a virtual machine in a provider-hosted cloud or in its own virtual environment. It brings enterprise-class networking services and security to public cloud environments and can also be used as a building block for scalable network service offerings. More information on the router is available here.

I recently stumbled upon an interesting blog about AI (our top blog for Jan listed below) and it got me thinking about all the amazing (and sometimes concerning) advancements in this field. As someone who has been playing around with ChatGPT in my personal life, I understand the power and potential of AI, but also the risks that come with it.For example, there was a recent incident with an AI-generated show that was streaming on Twitch that had to be taken down due to some questionable content. This just highlights the importance of being aware of the potential dangers and ensuring that our AI models are well-trained and trustworthy.That's why I want to start a discussion with all of you about the biggest risks you see with AI. Have you encountered any similar incidents or have any stories to share? I'd love to hear your thoughts and insights on this topic! The top performing blog posts of the month were:4 Factors That Define Responsible AI Cross Connects vs. Virtual Connects Data Mana

With reference to Equinix Connect, can Equinix configure access-lists on the router/switch to provide basic firewall functionality? We are specifically looking to only allow specific source IPs and ports to a device directly connected to the router.

Hi, I am using the API to open inbound orders and I received a call today that the Shipping team cannot scan the tracking numbers and associate them to a ticket. It looks like the API is putting the tracking number string into a list instead of a string which is causing this,   ['626467467487', '626467467454', '626467467465', '626467467476']. I have my app posting this in a string format using the catalog on the developer portal. The portal does state that the tracking numbers need to be inside brackets so could that be the reason?   "carrierTrackingNumbers": [  "DHL930182000"], That is the example from the catalog, I believe the brackets are causing the issue here with the Shipping department at the site.

I keep hearing about accessing things in "ECP". What is ECP?

I'm trying to create a primary and secondary GCP connection. I created a primary connection, however, when I try to create the secondary connection I get the following response: [ { "errorCode": "EQ-3142303", "errorMessage": "Only Primary connection allowed for this CSP", "details": "Given service profile does not allowed redundant connection", "correlationId": "null-0000-103912200151-api", "additionalInfo": [ { "property": "/redundancy/priority" } ] } ] However, if I get the service profile details via the API: https://api.equinix.com/fabric/v4/serviceProfiles/{UUID} in the "metadata" section there is an attribute "redundantProfileId" which lists the profile Id I was using to try and create a redundant connection. Am I misunderstanding this as it seems that since there is a "redundantProfileId" listed that the profile should support redundant connections?
