Creating a connection between two Oracle locations

You can create a Dynamic Connection to connect two Oracle locations. To create the connection, you'll need Oracle Cloud identifiers (OCIDs) from Oracle. Be sure to have that information handy to type in (or copy/paste).

To create a connection between two Oracle locations:

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

    Control Center lists all your connections with a status and brief summary for each connection.

  1. In the To Connection Type field, select Oracle.

  1. Fill in the information for the connections:

    1. Fill in the Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID) field for the origination location with the OCID provided by Oracle.

      Once you fill in the OCID, Control Center retrieves connection information from Oracle and adds the origination location.

    2. Fill in the Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID) field for the termination location with the OCID provided by Oracle.

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

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

    4. 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.)

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

      Control Center displays pricing for the bandwidth you selected.

    6. In the Connection Name field, type a name for the connection you're creating.
  1. Click Next.
  1. Review your connection information and 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 and places it in Pending Activation status. 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.
