What Are the Network Requirements for Connections?

  • Your network must use a single-mode fiber with a 1GE or 10GE optical module to connect to the access device in the cloud.
  • 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.
  • If BGP routing is used, your device must support BGP and BGP MD5 authentication.
  • (Optional) You can configure Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on the network.
  • The maximum transmission unit (MTU) supported at the physical layer is 1522 bytes (14-byte Ethernet header + 4-byte VLAN tag + 1500-byte IP datagram + 4-byte frame check sequence).
  • Private IP addresses are recommended on the cloud, and IP address ranges for interworking cannot conflict with each other.
