Step 1 — Create an MVE
- Create an MVE in the Megaport Portal.
For more information, see Creating an MVE. 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 — Create a subinterface in Orchestrator.
- In Orchestrator, go to Configure > Edges, click the MVE.
- Select the Device tab and scroll down to Interface Settings.
- Click +Add Subinterface.
- From the Select Interface menu, choose GE3 and for the Subinterface ID enter the A-End VLAN ID configured for the connection in the Megaport Portal.
- Change the Addressing Type to Static and provide the IP Address (MVE), CIDR value (MVE), and Gateway (Cloud/B-End IP address).
- Ensure Enable VLAN Tagging is enabled.
- Click **Update GE3:**vlan-id.
- In the upper-right corner of the Configure > Edges window, click Save Changes and then confirm.
- Go to Configure > Edges and click the MVE device.
- Select the Device tab and in the Configure Segments section, click Enable Edge Override for BGP Settings.
- Click the toggle button to turn on BGP and click Edit.
The BGP Editor appears. - For Local ASN, add the ASN for the MVE side of the connection.
- For the Neighbor IP, add the IP address of the B-End of the connection.
- Add the B-End ASN to the ASN field for the neighbor.
- View all Additional Options and enable MD5 Auth and enter your MD5 Password (BGP Auth Key).
- Click OK and then click Save Changes.
