Changes and enhancements

Increased character count for company descriptions

The Company Description field on the Company Profile page now allows up to 500 characters. The previous cap was 150 characters.

Remove duplicate ports when creating a VC

When you create a backbone virtual circuit, you are shown a list of your ports under Select Source Port and again under Select Destination Port.

Previously, whatever selection you made in one list did not affect the other.

Now, when you select a source port, that port is automatically removed from your list of possible destination ports. The same thing happens in reverse if you start by selecting a destination port.

Port details page

We made some small changes in how PacketFabric outbound cross connects appear on the port details page. This is to better align the interface with how we internally manage cross connect orders.

Home page VC request count

We modified the VC Requests count under Service Overview:

  • It now only shows how many pending virtual circuit requests you have recieved. Previously, it showed both pending and provisioned requests.
  • Rather than always being orange, it displays a green 0 when there are no pending requests.

Create as LAG

Marketplace layout

The marketplace layout has been updated so that the filtering options are at the top of the page, allowing more room for the directory listing.

Network

We have added a Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute on-ramp in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is our fourth ExpressRoute on-ramp.
