# Creating a Service Token

A service token is a unique key that grants authorization to a Network Edge device.

You can create a service token and share it with a customer to enable connectivity to your Network Edge device. The virtual device is still owned and managed by you. Once a service token is created and shared with a customer, that customer has full permission to create a connection to the device. You can get information about a token (such as the status) or delete a token at any time.

Things to keep in mind:

* Each service token can only be used once.
* You can create a service token for each interface on your device. In other words, if your device has 10 interfaces, you can create 10 service tokens; one for each interface.

To create a service token:

1. Sign in to the [Equinix Customer Portal](https://portal.equinix.com/ne/new-virtual-device) and navigate to Network Edge.

2. On the *Service Tokens* menu, select **Create Service Token**.

3. In the *Service Token Type* section, click **Z-side Connection Service Token**.

4. In the *Select Asset Type* section, click **Virtual Device**.
