[AusNOG] AWS With Megaport

Sorry my understanding is you don’t get a broadcast domain but you can easily route it as such and have a routed /24 in place.

Are you sure?

https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/faqs/

Q. Can I extend one of my VLANs to the AWS Cloud using AWS Direct Connect?

No, VLANs are utilized in AWS Direct Connect only to separate traffic between virtual interfaces.



There may be creative ways to kind of achieve it but not out of the box... megaport itself can span a broadcast domain but AWS is the limiting factor here.

If you know of a way around this i'd be extremely interested to know.

Cheers
Matthew

Hi *



 Just wondering if the following scenario is supported for EC2 instances with AWS.



 Over megaport, I'd like to use a VXC (Or Direct Connect) - On that interface on my router, I put x.x.x.1/24, then on my EC2 instances I'd want to put x.x.x.2-254/24 directly on my compute instances, so those EC2 instances basically become a part of my broadcast domain over the VLAN on Megaport, and I can control data in/out of those instances.



 I'm fairly fresh to AWS so not entirely sure the correct way to go about it through the route tables, VPCs etc - is what I'm asking for relatively easy and possible?



Thanks,

Joe
