[AusNOG] AWS With Megaport

Tue Feb 12 19:17:57 EST 2019

They are different.

Look for Hosted Connection VS AWS Direct Connect.

The connection you get via Megaport or all other Telcos most probably would
be Hosted Connection or Hosted VIF. Best to check with the telco – Megaport
in this instance on the product details, specs, limitations.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

I'm not sure if the Megaport Direct Connect is any different to a regular
AWS Direct Connect, but a friend of mine has successfully used a regular
AWS Direct Connect that they extended into their EC2 VPC and assigned IP
addresses to their instances from their own /28 range.

The subnet has a Route Table that would say send everything to the DX VGW
to make this work.

The only caveat was the .1 and .2 addresses cannot be used because that's
the AWS Default Gateway and DNS, etc.

Hi Joseph,

Thank your for your enquiry.

As Simon Thomason pointed out, AWS Direct Connect - Private Virtual
Interface is mainly for connecting two private networks together by
exchanging routes via BGP.

In your scenario of extending your on-premises network into the native AWS
VPC so they are on the same broadcast domain, this is not a supported
scenario. Also on AWS VPC route table, the destination via next-hop/default
gateway will need to be an AWS component i.e. Virtual Private Gateway or
Internet Gateway etc. and not something outside of AWS.

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

Please also check the Topology section of the FAQ

There are options such as VMware on AWS and creating a L2VPN over Direct
Connect, that may suits your requirements.

I hope this answers your question, and if you have any further
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me,

I would be interested to know how you do this also.

My understanding is that over MP you need to peer with AWS in BGP.

Even looking at AWS doco it says you can not
https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/faqs/.

Unless you want to run GRE or something over this but i am not certain why
you would.

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
