AT&T NetBond Essentials using Equinix Fabric ordering considerations

Follow these steps to create a Direct Link connection for your AT&T NetBond Essentials service provider.

  1. Obtain an IP subnet and local ASN (Public ATT ASN) for the BGP from the AT&T NetBond Essentials service on the Total Access Orchestration (TAO) platform.

    此块 /29 细分为两个 /30 子网。 您需要在 IBM Cloud® 控制台中订购 /30 子网。

  2. 使用 IBM Cloud 帐户，通过 IBM Cloud 控制台订购 IBM Cloud Direct Link Connect 网关。 有关指示信息，请参阅 订购 IBM Cloud Direct Link Connect。

    During the ordering process (Step 7), Make sure to specify the AT&T-supplied IP addresses instead of your actual client Edge IP addresses.

    要添加您自己的 IP 地址，请执行以下步骤:

    • 选择 手动选择 IP。

    • 对于“范围”，选择 公用。

    • For Your CIDR, enter the specific IP address from the AT&T-supplied subnet (for example, 10.254.0.26/30).

    • For IBM CIDR, enter the specific IP address from remaining addresses in the AT&T-supplied subnet (for example, 10.254.0.25/30).

    • for the BGP ASN, enter the supplied local ASN (AT&T Public ASN) supplied by AT&T.

    记下并保留从订单生成的连接名称和服务密钥。

  3. Send the name of the connection and the generated service key to the AT&T Service Provider team. If you are granted permission by AT&T to order Direct Link Connect through the Equinix Fabric portal, complete your order using the Equinix Cloud Exchange (ECX) Fabric portal.

AT&T TAO / NetBond Essentials submits your Equinix order using the Equinix Fabric portal

After the order is completed, AT&T will need to notify you that the Equinix order was submitted.

The IBM Special Network Services (SNS) team receives the Equinix request (submitted by AT&T on your behalf) and is able approve the connection in the buyer-side portal. 您可以通过转至 连接来查看新创建的 Direct Link 虚拟连接。 连接将处于暂挂供应状态 (暂挂提供程序 VLAN)。

审批时间在 24-48 小时内。 如果 48 小时服务级别协议 (SLA) 不可接受，那么您可以创建 IBM 支持案例 并请求将其路由到 SNS 团队。
