Equinix Internet Access - additional IPs
Hi Shannon,
Thanks for confirming! In that case would we be able to take a /29 and subnet this into smaller networks?
Our use case for wanting two separate networks is so that we can apply AS path prepending to them to influence inbound traffic even if it's only applicable within the Equinix network. For example here is what we are looking to achieve -
Equinix PA IP 88.36.66.0/29
Subnetted and advertised out like so:
circuit 1
88.36.66.6/30 - prepend
88.36.66.1/30 – no prepend
circuit 2
88.36.66.1/30 - prepend
88.36.66.6/30 – no prepend
Thanks
Hello, chana, yes, you can take a larger prefix, split it up and advertise the smaller blocks via BGP just like you have in your example. As you deduce, it is only applicable within the EIA network.

Hi, rcarrara, just want to check if we were to subnet as above then the individual IPs would still be reachable publicly, it's just prepending that's only applicable within Equinix network, is that correct?
Thanks

That is correct chana. The /29 will be part of a larger aggregate we advertise to our upstream internet peers. The prepending you do to influence inbound traffic to your edge devices will only be applicable within the Equinix network.

Brilliant thanks for confirming!
