Create a Cloud Router

From the Cloud Routers page, click Create Cloud Router in the upper right.

Complete the following fields:

Cloud Router Details
Cloud Router name
Enter a name for your Cloud Router.
Cloud Router ASN

Enter a public or private ASN, 2 or 4 byte.

IMPORTANT: Once the Cloud Router provisions, you cannot change the ASN. Ensure that the ASN you assign does not conflict with any restrictions set by the cloud providers you plan to use. Also consider whether you will be adding public peering to the router, as some CSPs require a public ASN for that. See PacketFabric-side ASNs for information about reserved ASNs.
Regions and Speed
Regions
Select the regions in which you will be adding connections. At this time, you can select North America and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa). If you are planning to have transregional connections, select both.

For example, if you have Cloud Router connections in Chicago and Atlanta, you can select North America. If you have connections in London and Amsterdam, select EMEA. If you want to use a Cloud Router to route traffic between a connection in London and Chicago, then you will need to select both regions.

You can change this setting later.

Capacity
Select the Cloud Router capacity. For example, if you expect to provision three 10 Gbps connections, then you should set the capacity to at least 30 Gbps.

The capacity can be modified at any time. If you end up needing fewer connections, you can downgrade capacity; if you end up wanting more, you can upgrade.

For more information on available capacities and pricing, see PacketFabric Pricing.

Under the billing section on the right, select a term and the appropriate billing account to use. You can also optionally specify a PO number to associate with the service. The PO number will be included on your monthly invoice.

Click Place order.
