direct-link's Issues

pricing page needs clear "monthly"

I know it to be monthly but it needs to be made clear on the page.

Direct Link ECX order: Account ID ?

Hello,
The Classic Softlayer Account ID needed for ECX order
means the client's unique account ID which's initially created to start
using IBM Cloud regardless of direct link.
So It should be changed not to confuse DirecLink clients.

6.On the Connection Details page, enter the connection information. For Account ID, enter the Classic Softlayer Account ID (for example, 114340xxx) that was generated when you provisioned your direct link. This key can be found on the Direct Link details page.

Missing translations

So far for 4Q2018 we are missing de and hans translations

yum install epel-release this command in cent OS doesnt work

Actually Yum may not be a command that work in either any IBM Cloud image whether redhat or Cent OS as we have our own repos to send these patches and if that is true we need to fix all our documentation referring to YUM command.

sudo apt install is another command that is working, however in this case epel-release is missing to download and install.

With WGET using this command: wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

I got to the repo in to /tmp folder but installing that may not be allowed. Please fix this and respond to me on my email or a way that can help me know when this is fixed.

Could we clarify that this changed with DL 2.0

Thanks

Global Routing option of 1Gbps is the same price regardless of location.

Hello,

The 1Gbps Global Routing option is the same price ($2,999) regardless of location. At other speeds, prices vary from place to place.
Is it correct?

changes to process enabling VRF since 30 November 2023 not reflected here

By default, classic accounts that were established before 30 November 2023, are included in the IBM Cloud general routing table. Previously, if you wanted to convert a classic account to a VRF-style account, you were required to open a support case with IBM® Support. Beginning 30 November 2023, any new classic account or any existing classic account that is "empty" (for example, without any provisioned VLANs), will be automatically converted to a VRF-style account the next time that account initiates a private network connection. For more information, see FAQs about VRF account migration. https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-vrf-faqs
