2 NetBond Service Activation Overview for NetBond allows customers to extend their MPLS virtual private network to cloud services such as IBM. With NetBond enabled, the private network will appear as another site on the VPN. s can then reach their servers with reduced latency, improved security, and greater availability. Using the Cloud Services Portal, the NetBond service can be quickly provisioned. The next few slides provide an overview to plan and enable the service. Prior to enablement, the customer should have or procure service with, and work with the account team to sign up for NetBond cloud services. Upon contract signing, the customer will receive a welcome for credentials to 2

3 NetBond Service Activation Overview for Example Scenario with existing VPN & Service Edge Bare Metal or Virtual Servers Edge The next few slides will provide an overview of a typical service activation. In this example, our customer has their network configured through using BGP Autonomous Systems and They have existing service in a data center with hosts allocated from the subnet. 3

4 NetBond Service Activation Overview for Order Direct Link from Edge Bare Metal or Virtual Servers Edge Prior to service activation with, our customer orders Direct Link Cloud Exchange at the appropriate location. 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps port speeds are available. Global Routing can be added to facilitate connectivity between data centers. It is recommended that all Direct Link connections with also use the option to minimize IP address overlap problems. 4

5 NetBond Service Activation Overview for Ordering Direct Link To start the process to order Direct Link, log into the customer portal at and navigate to the tab. Select the Direct Link Cloud Exchange option. After answering questions about the requested connection, your sales team will assist in completing the order. 5

NetBond Service Activation Overview for Step 1 Create VNC Edge Bare Metal or Virtual Servers s Edge Using the Cloud Services Portal, our customer creates a new virtual network connection, (VNC).

6 NetBond Service Activation Overview for Step 1 Create VNC Edge Bare Metal or Virtual Servers s Edge Using the Cloud Services Portal, our customer creates a new virtual network connection, (VNC). At the designated region, NetBond orchestration enables our customer s private network on the routers collocated with the router. In addition, our customer chooses a minimum bandwidth commitment for the virtual network connection. 6

7 NetBond Service Activation Overview for Step 2 Create VLAN Edge _VLAN_SanJose / /30 Bare Metal or Virtual Servers /30 s Edge Next, using a /29 address block from their enterprise IP space, our customer creates a VLAN within the VNC. NetBond orchestration provisions initial BGP peering on a pair of connections from routers to the router. The /29 address block is automatically provisioned as two /30 subnets. Upon completion, the Cloud Services Portal provides a service key that identifies the newly provisioned VLAN. Our customer provides the service key to via the customer portal. 7

Typical turnaround is two business days. Upon completion, routes will automatically propagate to the customer s enterprise routing domain. 9

10 NetBond Service Activation Overview for Summary Steps 1. Obtain service 2. Work with the account team to sign up for NetBond services. Welcome letter will provide credentials to Cloud Services Portal, ( 3. Order Direct Link Cloud Exchange with the VRF option from the portal. 4. Create NetBond Virtual Connection (Required: Name of VPN, region, free-form name for Virtual Connection, and bandwidth commitment) 5. Create NetBond VLAN (Required: /29 address space and free-form name) 6. Provide the service-key returned by the Cloud Services Portal to via a ticket in the customer portal. Note: In the event you wish to delete a vlan, please coordinate these activities with. 10

More sophisticated routing schemas can be achieved using a Gateway. ( 12

NetBond Service Activation Overview for IP Overlap Edge 10.

13 NetBond Service Activation Overview for IP Overlap Edge /24 Services / _VLAN_SanJose / / s /30 Bare Metal or Virtual Servers Edge currently pre-allocates blocks of RFC 1918, private address space for the Bare Metal and Virtual Servers. With the VRF option, only the subnets assigned by to the customer are advertised to NetBond. However, the customer and must confirm the assigned blocks do not conflict with routes in the customer s enterprise network. hosts also need to reach services subnets within the data center. These services subnets should not overlap any assigned IP addressing within the customer s enterprise network. 13 does not support the Direct Link NAT option and discourages use of GRE tunnels or NSX gateways. s should work with to ensure there is no IP overlap between their own corporate enterprise network and the IP assignments.

Possible ASNs used by are 65404, 65200, 65202, 65207, and 65204, and are subject to change Alternatively, using NetBond route management, our customers may chose to announce a summary route to. The summary route will use the AS number and propagate throughout the private BGP autonomous systems. 16
