CreateCrossConnect

POST {{baseUrl}}/crossConnects

Creates a new cross-connect. Oracle recommends you create each cross-connect in a CrossConnectGroup so you can use link aggregation with the connection.

After creating the CrossConnect object, you need to go the FastConnect location and request to have the physical cable installed. For more information, see FastConnect Overview.

For the purposes of access control, you must provide the OCID of the compartment where you want the cross-connect to reside. If you're not sure which compartment to use, put the cross-connect in the same compartment with your VCN. For more information about compartments and access control, see Overview of the IAM Service. For information about OCIDs, see Resource Identifiers.

You may optionally specify a display name for the cross-connect. It does not have to be unique, and you can change it. Avoid entering confidential information.

server error without risk of executing that same action again. Retry tokens expire after 24
hours, but can be invalidated before then due to conflicting operations (for example, if a resource
has been deleted and purged from the system, then a retry of the original creation request
may be rejected).
