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.

Hi team,  Could someone explain the new BlueCat offering on Equinix Network Edge?

Equinix providers for Terraform and Pulumi benefit from several updates to infrastructure products Network Edge and Fabric.  Specify NE project ID via IAC Providers  While using said IaC providers to create Network Edge resources (Device, DLG, ACL, SSH Public key), the optional field "project ID" can be specified to prevent use of the default project and ensure correct billing. Add a Single, Diverse NE Device via IAC Providers   Previously, it was difficult to simply add a diverse device in a high availability architecture unless users destroyed the current device and chose a dual deployment option. The optional field fixes this by automatically selecting the redundant control plane option for rack and network diversity when adding a single device.  Upgrade Number of Device Cores via IAC Providers  A "core" field has been added to the Update Virtual Device API which

As part of our continued efforts to reduce energy costs and help address climate change, Equinix has deployed a 1MW rooftop solar system at our ME1 International Business Exchange® (IBX®) data center in Melbourne, Australia. This is not only one of Equinix’s largest solar PV systems globally, but one of the largest at any data center in Australia. This, along with previous deployments in Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney (BR1, CA1, SY7, ME2, SY9X, SY2 and SY4), provides a total of approximately 1.8MW of clean energy to local power grids in Australia.

In this video, we'll cover how to access a Fortigate Firewall via the Webgui. We'll start in the Device Details section of your provisioned firewall and walk through how to enable http permissions on the device. We'll open PuTTY to check the permissions on the port and cover what happens when we add the http and how to re-add ssh, ping, and fgfm permissions. We'll use the Console Tool in the Device Details page and utilize the temporary password provided by Equinix which will allow us to redo the permission statement for the port. We'll confirm that we've reestablished SSH access via PuTTY and then attempt to access the Webgui now that http has been enabled. Head to the Fabric Portal to check out your device details: https://fabric.equinix.com/
