AWS Direct Connect API ReferenceAssociateConnectionWithLag

AssociateConnectionWithLagAssociates an existing connection with a link aggregation group (LAG). The connection is interruptedand re-established as a member of the LAG (connectivity to AWS is interrupted). The connection mustbe hosted on the same AWS Direct Connect endpoint as the LAG, and its bandwidth must match thebandwidth for the LAG. You can re-associate a connection that's currently associated with a differentLAG; however, if removing the connection would cause the original LAG to fall below its setting forminimum number of operational connections, the request fails.

Any virtual interfaces that are directly associated with the connection are automatically re-associatedwith the LAG. If the connection was originally associated with a different LAG, the virtual interfacesremain associated with the original LAG.

For interconnects, any hosted connections are automatically re-associated with the LAG. If theinterconnect was originally associated with a different LAG, the hosted connections remain associatedwith the original LAG.

AWS Direct Connect API ReferenceCreateBGPPeer

CreateBGPPeerCreates a BGP peer on the specified virtual interface.

You must create a BGP peer for the corresponding address family (IPv4/IPv6) in order to access AWSresources that also use that address family.

If logical redundancy is not supported by the connection, interconnect, or LAG, the BGP peer cannot bein the same address family as an existing BGP peer on the virtual interface.

When creating a IPv6 BGP peer, omit the Amazon address and customer address. IPv6 addresses areautomatically assigned from the Amazon pool of IPv6 addresses; you cannot specify custom IPv6addresses.

For a public virtual interface, the Autonomous System Number (ASN) must be private or alreadywhitelisted for the virtual interface.

AWS Direct Connect API ReferenceCreateConnection

CreateConnectionCreates a connection between a customer network and a specific AWS Direct Connect location.

A connection links your internal network to an AWS Direct Connect location over a standard Ethernetfiber-optic cable. One end of the cable is connected to your router, the other to an AWS Direct Connectrouter.

To find the locations for your Region, use DescribeLocations (p. 146).

You can automatically add the new connection to a link aggregation group (LAG) by specifying a LAGID in the request. This ensures that the new connection is allocated on the same AWS Direct Connectendpoint that hosts the specified LAG. If there are no available ports on the endpoint, the request failsand no connection is created.

AWS Direct Connect API ReferenceCreateInterconnect

CreateInterconnectCreates an interconnect between an AWS Direct Connect Partner's network and a specific AWS DirectConnect location.

An interconnect is a connection that is capable of hosting other connections. The AWS Direct Connectpartner can use an interconnect to provide AWS Direct Connect hosted connections to customersthrough their own network services. Like a standard connection, an interconnect links the partner'snetwork to an AWS Direct Connect location over a standard Ethernet fiber-optic cable. One end isconnected to the partner's router, the other to an AWS Direct Connect router.

You can automatically add the new interconnect to a link aggregation group (LAG) by specifying a LAGID in the request. This ensures that the new interconnect is allocated on the same AWS Direct Connectendpoint that hosts the specified LAG. If there are no available ports on the endpoint, the request failsand no interconnect is created.

For each end customer, the AWS Direct Connect Partner provisions a connection on their interconnectby calling AllocateHostedConnection (p. 12). The end customer can then connect to AWS resources bycreating a virtual interface on their connection, using the VLAN assigned to them by the AWS DirectConnect Partner.

NoteIntended for use by AWS Direct Connect Partners only.

AWS Direct Connect API ReferenceCreateLag

CreateLagCreates a link aggregation group (LAG) with the specified number of bundled physical connectionsbetween the customer network and a specific AWS Direct Connect location. A LAG is a logical interfacethat uses the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to aggregate multiple interfaces, enabling you totreat them as a single interface.

All connections in a LAG must use the same bandwidth and must terminate at the same AWS DirectConnect endpoint.

You can have up to 10 connections per LAG. Regardless of this limit, if you request more connections forthe LAG than AWS Direct Connect can allocate on a single endpoint, no LAG is created.

You can specify an existing physical connection or interconnect to include in the LAG (which countstowards the total number of connections). Doing so interrupts the current physical connection or hostedconnections, and re-establishes them as a member of the LAG. The LAG will be created on the same AWSDirect Connect endpoint to which the connection terminates. Any virtual interfaces associated with theconnection are automatically disassociated and re-associated with the LAG. The connection ID does notchange.

If the AWS account used to create a LAG is a registered AWS Direct Connect Partner, the LAG isautomatically enabled to host sub-connections. For a LAG owned by a partner, any associated virtualinterfaces cannot be directly configured.

AWS Direct Connect API ReferenceCreatePrivateVirtualInterface

CreatePrivateVirtualInterfaceCreates a private virtual interface. A virtual interface is the VLAN that transports AWS Direct Connecttraffic. A private virtual interface can be connected to either a Direct Connect gateway or a VirtualPrivate Gateway (VGW). Connecting the private virtual interface to a Direct Connect gateway enablesthe possibility for connecting to multiple VPCs, including VPCs in different AWS Regions. Connecting theprivate virtual interface to a VGW only provides access to a single VPC within the same Region.

Setting the MTU of a virtual interface to 9001 (jumbo frames) can cause an update to the underlyingphysical connection if it wasn't updated to support jumbo frames. Updating the connection disruptsnetwork connectivity for all virtual interfaces associated with the connection for up to 30 seconds. Tocheck whether your connection supports jumbo frames, call DescribeConnections (p. 120). To checkwhether your virtual interface supports jumbo frames, call DescribeVirtualInterfaces (p. 152).

AWS Direct Connect API ReferenceCreateTransitVirtualInterface

CreateTransitVirtualInterfaceCreates a transit virtual interface. A transit virtual interface should be used to access one or more transitgateways associated with Direct Connect gateways. A transit virtual interface enables the connection ofmultiple VPCs attached to a transit gateway to a Direct Connect gateway.

ImportantIf you associate your transit gateway with one or more Direct Connect gateways, theAutonomous System Number (ASN) used by the transit gateway and the Direct Connect gatewaymust be different. For example, if you use the default ASN 64512 for both your the transitgateway and Direct Connect gateway, the association request fails.

Setting the MTU of a virtual interface to 8500 (jumbo frames) can cause an update to the underlyingphysical connection if it wasn't updated to support jumbo frames. Updating the connection disruptsnetwork connectivity for all virtual interfaces associated with the connection for up to 30 seconds.

AWS Direct Connect API ReferenceDisassociateConnectionFromLag

DisassociateConnectionFromLagDisassociates a connection from a link aggregation group (LAG). The connection is interrupted and re-established as a standalone connection (the connection is not deleted; to delete the connection, use theDeleteConnection (p. 99) request). If the LAG has associated virtual interfaces or hosted connections,they remain associated with the LAG. A disassociated connection owned by an AWS Direct ConnectPartner is automatically converted to an interconnect.

If disassociating the connection would cause the LAG to fall below its setting for minimum number ofoperational connections, the request fails, except when it's the last member of the LAG. If all connectionsare disassociated, the LAG continues to exist as an empty LAG with no physical connections.

AWS Direct Connect API ReferenceUpdateLag

UpdateLagUpdates the attributes of the specified link aggregation group (LAG).

You can update the following attributes:

• The name of the LAG.

• The value for the minimum number of connections that must be operational for the LAG itself to beoperational.

When you create a LAG, the default value for the minimum number of operational connections is zero(0). If you update this value and the number of operational connections falls below the specified value,the LAG automatically goes down to avoid over-utilization of the remaining connections. Adjust thisvalue with care, as it could force the LAG down if it is set higher than the current number of operationalconnections.
