# Starlink

Use Equinix Fabric to establish a direct, layer 2 connection to extend your network to your remote site. Equinix supports connecting to Starlink through the *Starlink L2VPN - Existing Terminal* service profile, where you already have a Starlink Enterprise terminal on a Layer 2 VPN plan. You provide Equinix your terminal ID as part of creating the connection.

* Locations - Starlink has a presence in 7 Equinix Metro locations: Ashburn, Bogota, Dallas, Sao Paulo, Silicon Valley, Singapore, and Warsaw. You can also connect to Starlink in one of its metro locations from any Equinix location using a remote connection.

* Bandwidths - Starlink supports the following connection speeds: 10 Mbps, 50 Mbps, 200 Mbps, 500 Mbps, and 1 Gbps.

## Prerequisites[​](#prerequisites "Link direto para Prerequisites")

* Check that your Starlink service line is on a layer 2 product rather than Internet. If you are not sure, ask your Starlink account manager.

* You need your Starlink terminal ID to create the connection on the Equinix Fabric side. If you don't know your Starlink terminal ID, it can be found on your Starlink dashboard.

* You need to have your VLAN information when configuring the connection: both the origin VLAN ID for the Equinix side and the C-VLAN ID for the Starlink side. After the connection is created, don't forget to configure your routers connected to Starlink with the C-VLAN.

* You need one of the options below on Equinix connect from:

  * An Equinix Fabric port, or service tokens that authorize your use of a Port.
  * A Fabric Cloud Router
  * A Network Edge Virtual Device.

* In order to create connections in Fabric, you must have the `Fabric Connections Manager` or `Fabric Manager` role.

## Monitor the Connection Status[​](#monitor-the-connection-status "Link direto para Monitor the Connection Status")

Creating a connection in the Equinix Customer Portal sends your connection request to Starlink. Once Starlink reviews and accepts the connection (usually within 24 hours), the virtual circuits from the Starlink terminal all way to your Equinix assets are created and you should be able to ping across both VLANs. Don't forget to configure your routers connected to Starlink with the C-VLAN.

You can monitor the connection status from your [*Connections Inventory*](https://docs.equinix.com/pt-BR/fabric/managing-connections/fabric-new-connections-inventory.md).
