Rent of additional ports

For additional network connectivity between equipment in server placement and rack rental, an additional port can be ordered on Selectel access switches.

Internet ports and local ports of different configurations are available for ordering.

Internet ports⁠

When ordering an Internet port, an additional Internet channel to the placed equipment is organized, a separate copper or optical cross-country is laid (depending on the port configuration). An additional IP address is not allocated, IP addresses from previously allocated subnets must be used. Traffic is counted according to the traffic consumption model that is selected for the server.

Port configurations⁠

Internet port
1 Gbps		1 Gbps copper port and copper cross-over
Internet port
10 Gbps		10 Gbps optical port and optical cross-over
Internet port
2x1 Gbps (MC-LAG)		1 Gbps copper port and two copper cross-overs, connected to independent switches
Internet port
2x10 Gbps (MC-LAG)		10 Gbps optical port and two optical crossovers 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 link several servers in a local network, you need to order a local port for each of them. After ordering and paying for the service, a separate copper or optical crossover is laid to each server (depending on the port configuration).

Port configurations⁠

LAN Port
1 Gbps		1 Gbps copper port and copper cross-over
LAN Port
10 Gbps		10 Gbps optical port and optical cross-over
LAN Ports
2x1 Gbps (MC-LAG)		1 Gbps copper port and two copper cross-overs, connected to independent switches
LAN Ports
2x10 Gbps (MC-LAG)		10 Gbps optical port and two optical crossovers connected to independent switches
