This video shows how to create an Exchange with CenturyLink Cloud (CLC) and Colocation Endpoints.
Introduction
Network Exchange provides secure, high-speed, redundant, automated network connections between disparate IT environments allowing for a true hybrid environment. The Network Exchange portal allows for self-managed connections, including the creation, modification and deletion, via the portal, combined with automation via Software Defined Networking.
Log-in to the CenturyLink Cloud Portal
Log-in to the Cloud Application Management (CAM) portal using your CAM credentials or your CenturyLink Cloud credentials.
Create an Exchange
On the Network Exchange screen, click Create an Exchange.
Name the Exchange and add a description. The Billing Type for all Exchanges is Fixed Monthly.
Click Next.
Choose the Cloud endpoint type in the available drop down list.
After you select your first endpoint, click next to fill in the details. Select the location and any other pertinent information on the screen.
Click Next to move on to the second endpoint.
Now choose the second endpoint type from the drop down list. Click Next.
Fill in the location and pertinent information for this endpoint.
Then click Next.
A Request Summary will appear. Review this to make sure the information is correct. Click Back to make changes or Submit to build the exchange.
The exchange will show a "BUILDING" status until it is complete. Then it will change to "ACTIVE."
Once active, you can view each endpoint by expanding the information under the exchange.
