Rent of additional ports

To organize additional network connectivity between the equipment when server location and counter rental you can order an additional port on Selectel access switches.

Available for ordering internet ports and local ports of different configurations.

Internet ports⁠

When ordering an Internet port, an additional Internet channel to the placed equipment is organized, a separate copper or optical crossing is laid (depending on the port configuration). An additional IP-address is not allocated, it is necessary to use IP-addresses from previously allocated subnets. Traffic is counted in accordance with traffic consumption patterns that is selected for the server.

Port configurations⁠

Internet port
1 Gbps		1 Gbps copper port and copper crossing
Internet port
10 Gbps		10 Gbit/s optical port and optical crossing
Internet port
2x1 Gbps (MC-LAG)		1 Gbps copper port and two copper cross-connections connected to independent switches
Internet port
2x10 Gbit/s (MC-LAG)		10 Gbps optical port and two optical cross-connections connected to independent switches

Local ports⁠

By ordering a local port, an additional local network with guaranteed data exchange speed is organized between the hosted servers. To unite several servers in a local network, it is necessary to order a local port for each of them. After ordering and paying for the service, a separate copper or optical crossing is laid to each server (depending on the port configuration).

Port configurations⁠

LAN port
1 Gbps		1 Gbps copper port and copper crossing
LAN port
10 Gbps		10 Gbit/s optical port and optical crossing
LAN ports
2x1 Gbps (MC-LAG)		1 Gbps copper port and two copper cross-connections connected to independent switches
LAN ports
2x10 Gbit/s (MC-LAG)		10 Gbps optical port and two optical cross-connections connected to independent switches

Order a port for a hosted server⁠

  1. In control panel go to Servers and hardware → Equipment placement.
  2. Open the server page → tab Services.
  3. Select a port configuration. The list of available configurations may vary depending on the pool where the server is hosted.
  4. Click Connect.
  5. Select a payment period.
  6. Click Pay for the service.
  7. Create a ticket. In the ticket, specify the VLAN to be assigned to the port. When ordering an optical port, specify the parameters of the optical module on the server. To rent an optical module contact technical support.

Order a rack port⁠

  1. In control panel go to Servers and hardware → Server racks.
  2. Open the rack page → tab Services.
  3. Select a port configuration. The list of available configurations may vary depending on the pool in which the rack is located.
  4. Click Order.
  5. After the order will be automatically generated ticket. In the ticket, specify the VLAN to be assigned to the port. When ordering an optical port, specify the parameters of the optical module.
