Demarcation of Device Responsibility per General Network Edge Device Scenario
Note: You can’t configure SNMP, Syslog, and NTP on the Network Edge portal. These can only be configured using SSH.
BGP, VPN, Device link, and an SSH key can configured on the portal if they have been initially configured by Equinix.
The following scenarios of Network Edge device responsibility demarcation are in effect in Network Edge depending on the device management solution.
Device Configuration/ Licensing | Configuration | Network Edge Infrastructure Monitoring | Network Edge Health Monitoring | Network Edge Vendor Support Request Initiation | Comments | Recovery |

Self-Configured/ User or 3rd party License |
