Accept a hosted virtual interface - AWS Direct Connect
AWSDocumentationAWS Direct ConnectUser Guide


ACCEPT A HOSTED VIRTUAL INTERFACE

PDFRSS

Before you can begin using a hosted virtual interface, you must accept the
virtual interface. For a private virtual interface, you must also have an
existing virtual private gateway or Direct Connect gateway. For a transit
virtual interface, you must have an existing transit gateway or Direct Connect
gateway.

TO ACCEPT A HOSTED VIRTUAL INTERFACE

 1. Open the AWS Direct Connect console at
    https://console.aws.amazon.com/directconnect/v2/home.

 2. In the navigation pane, choose Virtual Interfaces.

 3. Select the virtual interface and then choose View details.

 4. Choose Accept.

 5. This applies to private virtual interfaces and transit virtual interfaces.
    
    (Transit virtual interface) In the Accept virtual interface dialog box,
    select a Direct Connect gateway, and then choose Accept virtual interface.
    
    (Private virtual interface) In the Accept virtual interface dialog box,
    select a virtual private gateway or Direct Connect gateway, and then choose
    Accept virtual interface.

 6. After you accept the hosted virtual interface, the owner of the AWS Direct
    Connect connection can download the router configuration file. The Download
    router configuration option is not available for the account that accepts
    the hosted virtual interface.
