We're delighted to announce that the following updates are now live and available for members to use on the LINX Portal:
Managing BGP sessions on portal
We’ve made several improvements to make BGP changes clearer and easier to manage:
Clear visibility of when your changes are live following route server rebuilds
Orders now automatically resume and complete after rebuilds, removing the need for manual follow-up
AS-SET validation is now handled automatically, with clear messaging if there are any issues
Issues are now directed to the LINX NOC for faster resolution
Expanded LAG (port bundle) capabilities
We’ve extended support for LAG (port bundle) configurations in portal:
You can now configure Dot1Q and QinQ encapsulation on LAG/port bundles during the ordering process
You can order port-based services (including Cloud Connect, MAPS, PVLAN and CUG) on bundled ports with encapsulation enabled
Draft orders and improved ordering experience
We know it can be frustrating to lose progress when placing or editing orders. We’re introducing draft orders, allowing you to:
Save progress while ordering or editing services
Return to and complete orders later
Choose to continue, edit, or start a new order
The following changes are coming soon:
Improved bandwidth selection experience
We’ve heard feedback that the current bandwidth slider can be difficult to use and doesn’t clearly present available options. We’re redesigning this experience across our services to make it more intuitive and better aligned with our product portfolio.
Order Summaries
We've started work on order summaries when an action which requires service changes (new orders, bandwidth changes or location moves) to help aid finance reconciliation. Not to replace invoices, but will be downloadable to pass to your internal finance team
