Common Connectivity Scenarios - Megaport Documentation

This topic describes eight common scenarios delivering different levels of protection at the physical layer connecting to Megaport SDN.

Customer edge device stack (switch/router/firewall) at a single Megaport Point of Presence (PoP) with a single cross connect connecting to a single Port.Protection at the Physical Layer

Component	Protection
Megaport PoP	N/A
Switch Chassis	N/A
SFP Transceiver	N/A
Cross Connect	N/A

Customer edge device stack (switch/router/firewall) at a single Megaport Point of Presence (PoP) with dual cross connects connecting to two Ports in a LAG.Protection at the Physical Layer

Component	Protection
Megaport PoP	N/A
Switch Chassis	N/A
SFP Transceiver	1
Cross Connect	1

Customer edge device stack (switch/router/firewall) at a single Megaport Point of Presence (PoP) with dual cross connects connecting to two Ports not in a LAG on different chassis.

You will need to discuss this option with your Sales Directors or Solutions Architect on the specific PoP location.

Protection at the Physical Layer

Component	Protection
Megaport PoP	N/A
Switch Chassis	1
SFP Transceiver	1
Cross Connect	1

Customer edge device stack (switch/router/firewall) at a single Megaport Point of Presence (PoP) with one cross connect connecting to one Port and one DC Interconnect (Campus) cross connect connecting to one Port at a different nearby Megaport PoP.Protection at the Physical Layer

Component	Protection
Megaport PoP	N/A
Switch Chassis	1
SFP Transceiver	1
Cross Connect	1

Customer edge device (switch/router/firewall) at each of two Megaport PoPs with a single cross connect connecting to a single Port and with a separate connection between the two sites.Protection at the Physical Layer

Component	Protection
Megaport Point of Presence (PoP)	1
Switch Chassis	1
SFP Transceiver	1
Cross Connect	1

Customer edge device stack (switch/router/firewall) at a single Megaport Point of Presence (PoP) with dual cross connects connecting to two Ports in a LAG and another dual DC Interconnect (Campus) cross connects to two Ports in a LAG at a different Megaport PoP.Protection at the Physical Layer

Component	Protection
Megaport PoP	N/A
Switch Chassis	1
SFP Transceiver	3
Cross Connect	3

Customer edge device stack (switch/router/firewall) at each of two Megaport Points of Presence (PoPs) with dual cross connects connecting to two Ports in a LAG, and with a separate connection between the two sites.Protection at the Physical Layer

Component	Protection
Megaport PoP	1
Switch Chassis	1
SFP Transceiver	3
Cross Connect	3

Customer edge device stack (switch/router/firewall) at each of two Megaport PoPs with dual cross connects connecting to two Ports not in a LAG on separate chassis, and with an optional separate connection between the two sites.

You will need to discuss this option with your Sales Directors or Solutions Architect on the specific Point of Presence (PoP) location.

Protection at the Physical Layer

Component	Protection
Megaport PoP	1
Switch Chassis	Up to 3 (With separate connection between two sites)
SFP Transceiver	3
Cross Connect	3
