New features

Two-factor authentication

There is now a Two Factor Auth page available under user account settings:

You will need an authenticator app to enroll. For more information, see My Account.

IMPORTANT: Once enrolled, you can no longer use session token and cookie authentication with API keys. Use key and hash instead. See the PacketFabric API documentation.

Improved search capability

When executing searches in the portal, you can now use AND and OR operators.

  • To perform an AND search, use the ampersand (&) character. For example, CHI & equ would return all Equinix sites in Chicago.
  • To perform an OR search, use a comma. For example, LAX1, LAX2 would return all interfaces whose ID includes LAX1 or LAX2.

Searches are case insensitive. This search capability is available on all service order pages, all pages under Network, the Support > Notifications page, and the Support > Locations page.

The Support > Documentation page now includes a link to the very best knowledge base.
