WDX Dedicated is a L2 transport option that can be used with the following L3 routing methods for your direct connect circuit.

  • NAT

  • Public BGP

  • Private BGP

For more information about using WDX Dedicated with NAT or BGP, refer to the configuration examples below.

WDX Dedicated With NAT

The example below shows the following configuration specifications.

  • L2—WDX Dedicated

  • L3—NAT

  • Wasabi storage region—US East 1

Be sure to note that:

  • Wasabi will be configured to accept traffic from the /31 IP address assigned to your NAT interface.

  • Configure your NAT interface as follows:

    • Forward all Wasabi traffic to the NAT Interface IP address.

    • The next hop is configured with the Wasabi /31 IP address.

    • You may need the specific IP information for your internal FW and/or router to correctly forward your Wasabi traffic to the intended destination (for example, 38.27.106.0/24).

  • In this example, Wasabi advertises the 38.27.106.0/24 prefix in its BGP announcement for the storage service.

WDX Dedicated With Public BGP

The example below shows the following configuration specifications.

  • L2—WDX Dedicated

  • L3—Public BGP

  • Wasabi storage region—US East 2

Be sure to note that:

  • Wasabi is configured to accept traffic from your public prefix advertisement.

  • Configure your BGP interface to peer with the following prefix and Wasabi ASN.

  • In this example, Wasabi advertises the 38.73.225.0/24 prefix in its BGP advertisement with ASN 395717.

  • Additional BGP parameters can be configured by request (such as MD5, BDF Timers).

WDX Dedicated With Private BGP

The example below shows the following configuration specifications.

  • L2—WDX Dedicated

  • L3—Private BGP

  • Wasabi storage region—US West 1

Be sure to note that:

  • When a private BGP prefix is required, Wasabi will reserve a 10.249.x.0/24 address space for that advertisement.

  • You are required to configure that prefix in your BGP advertisement for Wasabi to accept.

  • In this example, Wasabi advertises the 38.146.40.0/24 prefix in its BGP advertisement with ASN 395717. Wasabi will only accept traffic coming from the reserved 10.249.x.0/24 prefix advertised from your network to Wasabi.

  • Additional BGP parameters can be configured by request (such as MD5, BDF Timers).
