What Are the Network Requirements for Connections?

  • Your on-premises network must use a single-mode fiber with a 1GE, 10GE, 40GE, or 100GE optical module to connect to the access device in the cloud. In addition, key parameters such as the LC, wavelength, and distance must be aligned with the location. Examples of optical module parameters: 1 GE, LC single-mode, 1310 nm, and 10 km
  • Auto-negotiation for the port must be disabled. Port speed and full-duplex mode must be manually configured.
  • 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation must be supported on the entire connection, including intermediate devices.
  • Your device must support BGP and BGP MD5 authentication or static routing.
  • (Optional) You can configure BFD on your network.
  • The maximum transmission unit (MTU) supported at the physical layer is up to 1522 bytes (14-byte Ethernet header + 4-byte VLAN tag + 1500-byte IP datagram + 4-byte frame check sequence). The recommended value is 1500.
  • Private IP addresses are recommended both on and off the cloud, and IP address ranges for interworking cannot conflict with each other.
