Planning Your Networks

Networks enable implementing multipoint-to-multipoint connections. Use networks to optimize the number of connections needed to interconnect your assets deployed across multiple IBX data centers.

Create a port-based or a VLAN-based Layer 2 Ethernet multipoint-to-multipoint network by first creating the network then connecting to your network from your EPL or EVPL ports and Network Edge devices in various metros.

Tip: Use a Fabric Cloud Router to implement a similar solution in layer 3. For more information, see About Equinix Fabric Cloud Router.
