Updating a direct link

Updating a direct link

You can update a Direct Link gateway either before or after the gateway moves to the Provisioned state. However, a gateway is restricted from editing during In review, Configuring, and some in-progress states.

Your provider can also send you a request to create, delete, or edit a direct link. You are notified of these requests by a Notification icon Notification icon and a request in the Status column. To respond to a pending request, select to accept or reject from the Actions menu Actions menu, or use the Actions menu on the direct link's details page.

To update a Direct Link gateway, follow these steps:

  1. Highlight the row of the gateway that you want to update, then click Edit from the Actions menu Actions menu. Alternatively, you can click the Direct Link name in the table to show its details. Then, click the Edit icon Edit icon in the upper right of the page.

    If you modify the speed or routing option, the pricing changes. Any updated charges take effect during the next billing cycle.

  2. Read and agree to the Direct Link prerequisites.

  3. Click Save for your changes to take effect.

Configuration updates start automatically after you click Save. Notice that the gateway changes to Configuring state in the Direct Link table, followed by Provisioned when the update is completed.
