I am passing JSON for ordering outbound shipments. The JSON is below but its pretty much that same as my inbound JSON which is fine. The issue I am getting with the outbound order is that I am getting this error:   b'[{"errorCode":"EQ-2016010","errorMessage":"One or more properties are invalid","correlationId":"105073684364570","additionalInfo":[{"property":"details.carrierTrackingNumbers","reason":"details.carrierTrackingNumbers should NOT have more than 1 items","value":["123456789", "987654321"]}]}]' My JSON: { "type": "OUTBOUND", "customerReferenceId": "x", "requestedDateTime": "2023-04-12T07:00:00.000Z", "cageId": "x", "details": { "carrier": "FEDEX", "numberOfBoxes": 2, "declaredValue": 1, "declaredValueCurrency": "USD", "carrierTrackingNumbers": [ "123456789", "987654321" ], "shipmentLabelRequired": false } } Just for reference this is my inbound which is working as expe

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?

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

Hello,I would like to create a L2 connection in the sandbox but I'm having some problems. I can get a list of ports but I can't get a service profile using GET /fabric/v4/serviceProfiles. When I try to create a service profile I get the message "PENDING APPROVAL" but I can't find a way to approve this service profile.What would be the best way to test the setup of L2 connections to Azure, AWS and Google in the the sadbox environment?Any help is appreciated.Thanks

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.

Equinix Identity and Access Management Identity and Access Management (IAM) has been implemented for Fabric, Network Edge, and Equinix Precision Time (EPT) users in your account. IAM will enable you to create role-based permission structures and build a resource hierarchy that matches your organizational hierarchy. This provides flexible self service account administration and significantly enhances your security posture. Identity and Access Management Learn about IAM Access IAM from the left side menu drop-down in Equinix Customer Portal (ECP), Fabric Portal, or EPT Portal to view your assigned projects and assets Users will be assigned Roles and Permissions based on their existing permissions and your assets will be assigned to a default project Use the Context Switcher drop-down at the top of the Fabric and EPT portals to set or change the project Administrator Responsibilities As a Master Admin in ECP, you will be assigned IAM, Primary, Org, Project, and Finance Admin roles&nb

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?

New lower speed tier on Equinix Fabric, ideal for digital banking and payment services 10Mbps connection speed available now Equinix Fabric has a lower virtual connection speed option of 10 Mbps. This speed is available for all customers use cases, but is ideal for customer connectivity via Fabric for high volume, low bandwidth transactions such as digital banking and payment services. Customers can create 10 Mbps virtual connections to connect to themselves in a point-to-point or a multipoint-to-multipoint configuration. If interested in creating a 10 Mbps virtual connection to a Service Providers publicly available on Fabric, you should verify that the Service Provider supports the lower speed tier. Availability: All Equinix Fabric locations, for local and remote connections, to any connection destinations (provided the Service Provider allows that speed tier)  Ordering: Customers can order 10Mbps virtual connections online only. 

Based on Cisco's direction, Equinix will end sales for any new Cisco CSR1000v (including both Equinix-Configured as well as Self-Configured device type) from the Network Edge marketplace. For existing Equinix-Configured Cisco CSR1000v customers, devices will be End-of-Sale at the end of February 2023.  All new customers are advised to consider the Cisco Catalyst 8000v router, which is recommended by Cisco. Additionally, with the end of sale announcement of the Cisco CSR1000v by Cisco, Equinix will be providing a tool to migrate existing Network Edge CSR1000v Self-Configured BYOL customers to Cisco Catalyst 8000v BYOL. This guided flow from the Fabric portal helps customers migrate their existing CSR1000v and associated connections. For more information, please refer to the Cisco1000v End-of-Sales/End-of-Life Announcement. 

For example, if I want to use Equinix Fabric to set up and operate AWS, is it possible to use the EquinixFabric API for management within AWS (EC2 startup, life-and-death monitoring, etc.)? Or is it necessary to use APIs provided by AWS?When using multiple Azure and GCP, it is a concern to use the API provided by each.Thank you.
