NaaS Manager support
Lumen® NaaS Manager (available within Control Center) is an intuitive, streamlined digital experience that offers three ways to easily spin up and modify reliable connections. You can choose public or private direct internet connections to multiple locations or cloud providers. Use NaaS Manager to add and manage Lumen network‑as‑a‑service (NaaS) products:
- Lumen® NaaS Port
