Requesting IP Transit

IP Transit on NetActuate is provisioned and configured by the NetActuate team on your behalf. Unlike BGP or Anycast, there is no self-service wizard for creating transit ports. This guide covers how to request IP Transit and monitor your transit services once they are active.

Requesting IP Transit​

To set up IP Transit at a NetActuate location:

  1. Contact support@netactuate.com or open a support ticket from the portal at Support → Submit Ticket.
  2. Include the following in your request:
    • Target location (PoP)
    • Desired commit level (bandwidth)
    • Whether you will use your own ASN and IP space or need NetActuate-provided resources
    • Any specific peering or routing requirements
  3. The NetActuate team will provision the transit port, configure BGP peering, and assign IP subnets.

You will be notified when the transit service is active and visible in the portal.

Monitoring IP Transit​

Once your transit service is live, navigate to Networking → IP Transit in the portal.

Viewing Your Transit Ports​

The dashboard lists all PoPs with active transit services. Select a PoP to open the resource panel.

Overview​

The Overview section shows your transit agreement details, including commit levels and contract information.

Network​

The Network section lists your assigned IP subnets and networking configuration for the transit port.

BGP Peering​

The BGP Peering section displays your ASN and NetActuate's ASN for the transit session.

Reports​

The Reports section provides historical bandwidth graphs showing your transit usage over time. Use this to track utilization against your committed bandwidth levels.

Service Status​

The Service Status section shows maintenance announcements and status updates specific to your transit ports.
