Managing Cross-Site Connection Bandwidths

Scenarios

Enterprise routers and global DC gateways in different regions added to the same policy can communicate with each other after you purchase a global connection bandwidth and assign cross-site connection bandwidths for these network resources.

Constraints

• Changing a Cross-Site Connection Bandwidth and Deleting a Cross-Site Connection Bandwidth cannot be performed when a cross-site connection is being created, updated, deleted, frozen, unfrozen, or recovered.
• The total of cross-site connection bandwidths cannot exceed the global connection bandwidth.
• After Deleting a Cross-Site Connection Bandwidth, you will still be billed if the global connection bandwidth is not deleted.

Assigning a Cross-Site Connection Bandwidth

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Hover on the upper left corner to display Service List and choose Networking > Cloud Connect.
3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Cloud Connect > Central Networks.
4. Locate the central network and click its name.
5. Switch to the Cross-Site Connection Bandwidths tab, locate the cross-site connection, and click Assign now in the Global Connection Bandwidth column.
6. On the Assign Cross-Site Connection Bandwidth page, select the global connection bandwidth.

   You can also click Buy Now to purchase one if there are no available global connection bandwidths.

7. Enter the bandwidth.
8. Click OK.

Viewing Monitoring Metrics of Cross-Site Connection Bandwidths

You can view the status of each cross-site connection bandwidth assigned for communications between network resources.

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Hover on the upper left corner to display Service List and choose Networking > Cloud Connect.
3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Cloud Connect > Central Networks.
4. Locate the central network and click its name.
5. Switch to the Cross-Site Connection Bandwidths tab and click the icon in the Monitoring column to view the monitoring data.

• For more information about Enterprise Router monitoring, see Supported Metrics.
• If a global DC gateway is attached to an enterprise router, only metrics of the enterprise router can be viewed.
