Internet Access Inventory

The Internet Access Inventory allows you to view your Internet Access services that are connected to Fabric Ports and Network Edge virtual devices. It is the entry point for managing and monitoring your Internet Access services.

Internet Access services connected to a dedicated port are viewable in your Install Base.

New Customer Portal Experience

Equinix is upgrading its systems and the user experience in the Customer Portal. Internet Access services over a Dedicated Port will be visible and manageable in the Internet Access Inventory.

Once your account has been onboarded, any Dedicated Port Internet Access service created after your account migration can be managed in the Customer Portal. This includes changing its bandwidth.

Dedicated Port Internet Access services created before your account has been onboarded will still be viewable in your Install Base and will still require a Move, Add, Change, or Delete request to customer support to modify. See Managing Dedicated Port Services for more information.

Equinix Connect services are not available in the Internet Access Inventory; use Orders & Ticket History instead.
