Client

class DirectConnect.Client

A low-level client representing AWS Direct Connect

AWS Direct Connect links your internal network to an AWS Direct Connect location over a standard Ethernet fiber-optic cable. One end of the cable is connected to your router, the other to an AWS Direct Connect router. With this connection in place, you can create virtual interfaces directly to the AWS cloud (for example, to Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3) and to Amazon VPC, bypassing Internet service providers in your network path. A connection provides access to all AWS Regions except the China (Beijing) and (China) Ningxia Regions. AWS resources in the China Regions can only be accessed through locations associated with those Regions.

import boto3

client = boto3.client('directconnect')

These are the available methods:

accept_direct_connect_gateway_association_proposal(**kwargs)

Accepts a proposal request to attach a virtual private gateway or transit gateway to a Direct Connect gateway.

allocate_public_virtual_interface(**kwargs)

Provisions a public virtual interface to be owned by the specified AWS account.

The owner of a connection calls this function to provision a public virtual interface to be owned by the specified AWS account.

Virtual interfaces created using this function must be confirmed by the owner using ConfirmPublicVirtualInterface . Until this step has been completed, the virtual interface is in the confirming state and is not available to handle traffic.

When creating an IPv6 public virtual interface, omit the Amazon address and customer address. IPv6 addresses are automatically assigned from the Amazon pool of IPv6 addresses; you cannot specify custom IPv6 addresses.

associate_connection_with_lag(**kwargs)

Associates an existing connection with a link aggregation group (LAG). The connection is interrupted and re-established as a member of the LAG (connectivity to AWS is interrupted). The connection must be hosted on the same AWS Direct Connect endpoint as the LAG, and its bandwidth must match the bandwidth for the LAG. You can re-associate a connection that's currently associated with a different LAG; however, if removing the connection would cause the original LAG to fall below its setting for minimum number of operational connections, the request fails.

Any virtual interfaces that are directly associated with the connection are automatically re-associated with the LAG. If the connection was originally associated with a different LAG, the virtual interfaces remain associated with the original LAG.

For interconnects, any hosted connections are automatically re-associated with the LAG. If the interconnect was originally associated with a different LAG, the hosted connections remain associated with the original LAG.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • virtualInterfaceState (string) --

      The state of the virtual interface. The following are the possible values:

      • confirming : The creation of the virtual interface is pending confirmation from the virtual interface owner. If the owner of the virtual interface is different from the owner of the connection on which it is provisioned, then the virtual interface will remain in this state until it is confirmed by the virtual interface owner.
      • verifying : This state only applies to public virtual interfaces. Each public virtual interface needs validation before the virtual interface can be created.
      • pending : A virtual interface is in this state from the time that it is created until the virtual interface is ready to forward traffic.
      • available : A virtual interface that is able to forward traffic.
      • down : A virtual interface that is BGP down.
      • deleting : A virtual interface is in this state immediately after calling DeleteVirtualInterface until it can no longer forward traffic.

      • rejected : The virtual interface owner has declined creation of the virtual interface. If a virtual interface in the Confirming state is deleted by the virtual interface owner, the virtual interface enters the Rejected state.
      • unknown : The state of the virtual interface is not available.

Exceptions

  • DirectConnect.Client.exceptions.DirectConnectServerException
  • DirectConnect.Client.exceptions.DirectConnectClientException
create_bgp_peer(**kwargs)

Creates a BGP peer on the specified virtual interface.

You must create a BGP peer for the corresponding address family (IPv4/IPv6) in order to access AWS resources that also use that address family.

If logical redundancy is not supported by the connection, interconnect, or LAG, the BGP peer cannot be in the same address family as an existing BGP peer on the virtual interface.

When creating a IPv6 BGP peer, omit the Amazon address and customer address. IPv6 addresses are automatically assigned from the Amazon pool of IPv6 addresses; you cannot specify custom IPv6 addresses.

For a public virtual interface, the Autonomous System Number (ASN) must be private or already on the allow list for the virtual interface.

create_connection(**kwargs)

Creates a connection between a customer network and a specific AWS Direct Connect location.

A connection links your internal network to an AWS Direct Connect location over a standard Ethernet fiber-optic cable. One end of the cable is connected to your router, the other to an AWS Direct Connect router.

To find the locations for your Region, use DescribeLocations .

You can automatically add the new connection to a link aggregation group (LAG) by specifying a LAG ID in the request. This ensures that the new connection is allocated on the same AWS Direct Connect endpoint that hosts the specified LAG. If there are no available ports on the endpoint, the request fails and no connection is created.

create_interconnect(**kwargs)

Creates an interconnect between an AWS Direct Connect Partner's network and a specific AWS Direct Connect location.

An interconnect is a connection that is capable of hosting other connections. The AWS Direct Connect partner can use an interconnect to provide AWS Direct Connect hosted connections to customers through their own network services. Like a standard connection, an interconnect links the partner's network to an AWS Direct Connect location over a standard Ethernet fiber-optic cable. One end is connected to the partner's router, the other to an AWS Direct Connect router.

You can automatically add the new interconnect to a link aggregation group (LAG) by specifying a LAG ID in the request. This ensures that the new interconnect is allocated on the same AWS Direct Connect endpoint that hosts the specified LAG. If there are no available ports on the endpoint, the request fails and no interconnect is created.

For each end customer, the AWS Direct Connect Partner provisions a connection on their interconnect by calling AllocateHostedConnection . The end customer can then connect to AWS resources by creating a virtual interface on their connection, using the VLAN assigned to them by the AWS Direct Connect Partner.

Note

Intended for use by AWS Direct Connect Partners only.

create_lag(**kwargs)

Creates a link aggregation group (LAG) with the specified number of bundled physical dedicated connections between the customer network and a specific AWS Direct Connect location. A LAG is a logical interface that uses the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to aggregate multiple interfaces, enabling you to treat them as a single interface.

All connections in a LAG must use the same bandwidth (either 1Gbps or 10Gbps) and must terminate at the same AWS Direct Connect endpoint.

You can have up to 10 dedicated connections per LAG. Regardless of this limit, if you request more connections for the LAG than AWS Direct Connect can allocate on a single endpoint, no LAG is created.

You can specify an existing physical dedicated connection or interconnect to include in the LAG (which counts towards the total number of connections). Doing so interrupts the current physical dedicated connection, and re-establishes them as a member of the LAG. The LAG will be created on the same AWS Direct Connect endpoint to which the dedicated connection terminates. Any virtual interfaces associated with the dedicated connection are automatically disassociated and re-associated with the LAG. The connection ID does not change.

If the AWS account used to create a LAG is a registered AWS Direct Connect Partner, the LAG is automatically enabled to host sub-connections. For a LAG owned by a partner, any associated virtual interfaces cannot be directly configured.

create_private_virtual_interface(**kwargs)

Creates a private virtual interface. A virtual interface is the VLAN that transports AWS Direct Connect traffic. A private virtual interface can be connected to either a Direct Connect gateway or a Virtual Private Gateway (VGW). Connecting the private virtual interface to a Direct Connect gateway enables the possibility for connecting to multiple VPCs, including VPCs in different AWS Regions. Connecting the private virtual interface to a VGW only provides access to a single VPC within the same Region.

Setting the MTU of a virtual interface to 9001 (jumbo frames) can cause an update to the underlying physical connection if it wasn't updated to support jumbo frames. Updating the connection disrupts network connectivity for all virtual interfaces associated with the connection for up to 30 seconds. To check whether your connection supports jumbo frames, call DescribeConnections . To check whether your virtual interface supports jumbo frames, call DescribeVirtualInterfaces .

create_transit_virtual_interface(**kwargs)

Creates a transit virtual interface. A transit virtual interface should be used to access one or more transit gateways associated with Direct Connect gateways. A transit virtual interface enables the connection of multiple VPCs attached to a transit gateway to a Direct Connect gateway.

Warning

If you associate your transit gateway with one or more Direct Connect gateways, the Autonomous System Number (ASN) used by the transit gateway and the Direct Connect gateway must be different. For example, if you use the default ASN 64512 for both your the transit gateway and Direct Connect gateway, the association request fails.

Setting the MTU of a virtual interface to 8500 (jumbo frames) can cause an update to the underlying physical connection if it wasn't updated to support jumbo frames. Updating the connection disrupts network connectivity for all virtual interfaces associated with the connection for up to 30 seconds. To check whether your connection supports jumbo frames, call DescribeConnections . To check whether your virtual interface supports jumbo frames, call DescribeVirtualInterfaces .

disassociate_connection_from_lag(**kwargs)

Disassociates a connection from a link aggregation group (LAG). The connection is interrupted and re-established as a standalone connection (the connection is not deleted; to delete the connection, use the DeleteConnection request). If the LAG has associated virtual interfaces or hosted connections, they remain associated with the LAG. A disassociated connection owned by an AWS Direct Connect Partner is automatically converted to an interconnect.

If disassociating the connection would cause the LAG to fall below its setting for minimum number of operational connections, the request fails, except when it's the last member of the LAG. If all connections are disassociated, the LAG continues to exist as an empty LAG with no physical connections.

update_lag(**kwargs)

Updates the attributes of the specified link aggregation group (LAG).

You can update the following attributes:

  • The name of the LAG.
  • The value for the minimum number of connections that must be operational for the LAG itself to be operational.

When you create a LAG, the default value for the minimum number of operational connections is zero (0). If you update this value and the number of operational connections falls below the specified value, the LAG automatically goes down to avoid over-utilization of the remaining connections. Adjust this value with care, as it could force the LAG down if it is set higher than the current number of operational connections.
