Creating a connection between a My Location endpoint and Oracle

You can create a Dynamic Connection between a My Location endpoint and Oracle. To create the connection, you'll need an Oracle Cloud identifier (OCID) from Oracle. Be sure to have that information handy to type in (or copy/paste).

To create a dynamic connection between a My Location endpoint and Oracle:

  1. Click Orders, then click Dynamic Connections - Ethernet.

    Control Center lists all your connections with a status and brief summary for each connection.
Dynamic Connections (showing list view)
  1. Click Create Connection.
Dynamic Connections (Create Connection)
  1. In the From Connection Type field, select My Location(s).
  1. In the To Connection Type field, select Oracle.
Dynamic Connections (My Location to Oracle--select endpoints)
  1. Fill in the information for the connection:

    1. From the From Location list, select the connection origination endpoint. (To see a list of your available endpoints, hover over the i icon, then click View Available Locations.)

    2. In the CE-VLAN field, type an unused VLAN ID (between 1 and 4095). (If you type in a VLAN ID and it's already in use, Control Center highlights it in red.)

    3. In the Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID) field, type or copy and paste your OCID provided by Oracle.

      Once you fill in the pairing key, Control Center retrieves connection information from Oracle and adds the Oracle termination location.

    4. In the Billing Method field, select whether you want hourly or monthly billing.

    5. In the Class of Service field, select whether you want Basic, Enhanced, or Dedicated. (Higher classes of service offer higher availability SLAs and allow you to increase traffic prioritization for your EVC.)

    6. In the Bandwidth field, select the bandwidth for the connection.

      Control Center displays pricing for the bandwidth you selected.

    7. In the Connection Name field, type a name for the connection you're creating.
  1. Click Next.
  1. Review your connection information, then click the I agree with the terms and conditions checkbox. (To enable the checkbox, scroll to the bottom of the terms and conditions.)
  1. Click Create Connection.

    Control Center creates the request for the connection. From here, you can either view the status of your request (click the list link) or close the window (click Close) to do something else in Control Center.
