To view information about a specific direct link, follow these steps:

  1. Click Menu Menu icon on the upper left of the page, then click Infrastructure > Network > Direct Link.
  2. Click Direct Link in the left navigation pane to view the Direct Link page, which lists existing Direct Link instances.

For Direct Link Dedicated with MACsec, you can also:

  • Review MACsec status and configuration information.
  • Click Edit to update values for the replay protection window.
  • Click Rotate CAK to replace either the primary or fallback CAK. If you did not provide a fallback CAK when creating your direct link, click Add fallback key to add a fallback CAK. It is recommended that you rotate these keys every 3 months.
