Benefits​

  • Provides stable connectivity to SaaS and optimizes network traffic.
  • Simplifies configuration by centralizing BGP settings on the OCX-Router.
  • Enhances communication redundancy to SaaS by implementing an East-West (Tokyo-Osaka) redundant configuration.

Notes​

  • Ensure that AS numbers and network segments do not overlap.
  • For terms and conditions regarding SaaS usage, please contact the respective SaaS provider.
  • A separate connection to DNS is required (e.g., via internet connection or private DNS).
  • An East-West redundant configuration is required to meet the SLA standards for XaaS Connection.
  • Some SaaS providers may not support East-West redundant configurations.
  • The recommended session limit per NAT IP address is approximately 62,000 sessions.
  • If the number of sessions increases, consider adding additional NAT IP addresses.
  • XaaS Connection does not support IPv6.
