L3 Cross Connect Conversion to L1

A TPH may choose to convert one or more L3 cross connects to L1 connections. Cboe NOC personnel will move the fiber patch from the L3 switch to the applicable L1 network device.

• A conversion request must be made in writing by emailing noc@cboe.com. Please include:
  • The Equinix cross connect ID.
  • The peer IP address of the L3 connection(s) to be converted.
  • Requested L1 feed(s) - CFE FC/FD or OOF OFC/OFD
• Conversions from L3 to L1 will be performed only during a Friday maintenance window (8:00 - 11:00 p.m. ET).
• A conversion from L3 to L1 will restart the physical port start billing date. The 90-day minimum requirement will be based on the new start billing date.
• Conversions from L3 to L1 are not reversible as the L3 physical port configuration is deleted and the transit IP address(es) are reclaimed.
• Similar to a new L1 10G cross connect, converted L3 connections will be assigned a random port number on the L1 device(s).
