Create or modify a Direct peering using the Azure portal

  • Artikkeli

In this article, you learn how to create a Microsoft Direct peering for an Internet Service Provider or Internet Exchange Provider using the Azure portal. This article also shows how to check the status of the resource, update it, or delete it.

If you prefer, you can complete this guide by using Azure PowerShell.

Prerequisites

Sign in to Azure

Sign in to the Azure portal.

Create a Direct peering

As an Internet Service Provider or Internet Exchange Provider, you can create a new direct peering using the Azure portal:

  1. In the search box at the top of the portal, enter peering. Select Peerings from the search results.

  2. On the Peerings page, select + Create.

  3. On the Basics tab of Create a Peering page, enter, or select the following values:

    Setting Value
    Project Details
    Subscription Select your Azure subscription.
    Resource Group Select a resource group or create a new one.
    Instance details
    Name Enter a name for the peering you're creating.
    Peer ASN Select your ASN.

    Important

    You can only choose an ASN with ValidationState as Approved before you submit a peering request. If you just submitted your PeerAsn request, wait for 12 hours or so for ASN association to be approved. If the ASN you select is pending validation, you'll see an error message. If you don't see the ASN you need to choose, check that you selected the correct subscription. If so, check if you have already created PeerAsn by using Associate Peer ASN to Azure subscription.

  4. Select Next: Configuration to continue.

  5. On the Configuration tab, enter or select the following values:

    Setting Value
    Peering type Select Direct.
    Microsoft network Select AS8075.
    SKU Select Basic Free. Don't select Premium Free as it's reserved for special applications.
    Metro Select the metro location where you want to convert a peering to an Azure resource. If you have peering connections with Microsoft in the selected location that aren't converted, you can see them listed in the Peering connections.

    • If you want to modify a peering connection setting, select the edit button to go to the Direct Peering Connection page.
