Creating MVE Connections to Any Endpoint with Aviatrix Secure Edge

This topic describes the general steps to configure and deploy a Megaport VXC connection in the Megaport Portal and integrate it with an MVE in Aviatrix Secure Edge. The VXC can connect to a Cloud Service Provider, a Port, or an MCR.

Step 1 – Create an MVE

Create an MVE in the Megaport Portal.
For more information, see Creating an MVE with Aviatrix. The MVE needs to be in the active state.

Step 2 – Create a VXC from the MVE

In the Megaport Portal, select the MVE created in Step 1.
Create a VXC to another MVE, a Port, or Cloud Service Provider.
For more information, see Creating a VXC. Ensure both ends of the connection are active and have BGP configured.
In the connection details, note the A-End VLAN.

Step 3 – Collect these values for the connection

MVE IP address
MVE VLAN (A-End)
MVE ASN
Cloud/B-End IP address
B-End ASN
MD5 Password

Step 4 – Configure the connection in Aviatrix CoPilot

After you create the connection from your MVE to the required endpoint, you need to configure it in Aviatrix CoPilot. This involves configuring an interface and BGP.

For more information, see the Aviatrix Documentation.

Step 5 – Validating your connection

Use CoPilot’s diagnostic tools to review connection details and perform a ping test to check IP connectivity.
Verify that BGP is established using BGP diagnostics and relevant BGP CLI commands.
