Solution Builder: Bring Your Own Connection

You can Bring Your Own Connection (BYOC) to connect your device to a Network Service Provider (NSP) in Network Edge. To learn more about the BYOC feature, see Bring Your Own Connection – Remote Fabric Port. BYOC is available in the Solution Builder to provide a pricing estimate when bringing your own connection.

Add BYOC

  1. In Network Resources, select Connections, then select BYOC Bring Your Own Connection and drag and drop the BYOC object to the canvas.

  2. In order to calculate the BYOC price estimate, Solution Builder will ask for the following options:

    • Network Service Provider Name

    • Port/IBX Data Center Location – Select the IBX where your NSP’s equipment is located. This information can be obtained from yourNSP. If your NSP is in a different Metro than your virtual device, additional charges may occur.

    • Port Speed – Select the Port bandwidth. There is a one-time charge in addition to the Monthly Recurring Charge, listed in the bandwidth card

  3. Use your cursor to draw a line between dots of your devices to the BYOC resource. You need to select a bandwidth for the connection between those resources to complete.
