To establish service link connectivity, external BGP (eBGP) peering sessions are created between each OND and the CND. A /30 or /31 IP address is used as a BGP peering IP address for each BGP session between the Outposts service link autonomous system and the organization’s autonomous system...
VMC on AWS Outposts can leverage AWS Direct Connect private VIFs for the service link private connectivity. A set of Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) within an Amazon VPC is created to establish the service link connectivity to the AWS service anchor private endpoint. This Amazon VPC is created...
