Creating a Virtual Circuit (VC)

This page explains how to create a Virtual Circuit (VC) using the OCX Portal.

  • When creating a VC, you must select an Area to control which resources can be attached.
  • If you select multiple areas, inter-area communication becomes possible for a fee. For pricing details, please refer to this page.
  • If you select only one area, the service is free of charge.

Preparation​

Before creating a VC, please confirm the following:

  1. Your User Role is either admin or user.

Procedure for Creating a Virtual Circuit (VC)​

  1. Log in to the OCX Portal.

  2. Click [Virtual Circuits (VCs)] from the left navigation bar.

  3. On the Virtual Circuits page, click [+ Create] in the upper right corner.

  4. The screen will switch to the VC creation step. Configure the following items and click [Create].

    • Name
      • Enter an arbitrary name. A name that is easy to identify will simplify management.
      • Maximum length: 40 characters.
      • Leading and trailing whitespaces are automatically removed.
    • Area
      • Select one or two Areas. You cannot select three or more. Selecting two areas will incur a fee, enabling communication across different areas (for details, refer to IAVC).
      • When attaching resources to the VC, only resources with interfaces in the selected area(s) can be attached.
      • Please note that the area(s) cannot be changed after the VC is created.

  5. A [Confirm Creation] pop-up will appear. Review the details and click [Create].

  6. The created resource will appear in the list at the top of the screen. Confirm that the status next to the resource becomes available. Tip: You can update the status by clicking the [Refresh] button in the upper right corner.

This completes the creation of the Virtual Circuit (VC).

Once a VC is created, you can attach pre-created resources such as VCI, Cloud Connection, Router Connection, Internet Connection, Internet Gateway, Tunnel Gateway, XaaS Connection, VMG Instance, and SmartVPN Interface. For attachment procedures, please refer to Configuring Virtual Circuit (VC) Attachments.
