For use with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect. A cross-connect represents a<br />physical connection between an existing network and Oracle. Customers who are colocated<br />with Oracle in a FastConnect location create and use cross-connects. For more<br />information, see [FastConnect Overview](/iaas/Content/Network/Concepts/fastconnect.htm).<br /><br />Oracle recommends you create each cross-connect in a<br />[CrossConnectGroup](#/en/iaas/latest/CrossConnectGroup) so you can use link aggregation<br />with the connection.<br /><br />Note: If you're a provider who is setting up a physical connection to Oracle so customers<br />can use FastConnect over the connection, be aware that your connection is modeled the<br />same way as a colocated customer's (with CrossConnect and CrossConnectGroup objects, and so on).<br /><br />To use any of the API operations, you must be authorized in an IAM policy. If you're not authorized,<br />talk to an administrator. If you're an administrator who needs to write policies to give users access, see<br />[Getting Started with Policies](/iaas/Content/Identity/Concepts/policygetstarted.htm).<br />

Methods​
The following methods are available for this resource:
| Name | Accessible by | Required Params | Optional Params | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
get | select | crossConnectId, region | Gets the specified cross-connect's information. | |
list | select | compartmentId, region | crossConnectGroupId, limit, page, displayName, sortBy, sortOrder, lifecycleState | Lists the cross-connects in the specified compartment. You can filter the list<br />by specifying the [OCID](/iaas/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm) of a cross-connect group.<br /> |
create | insert | region, locationName, portSpeedShapeName, compartmentId | opc-retry-token | Creates a new cross-connect. Oracle recommends you create each cross-connect in a<br />[CrossConnectGroup](#/en/iaas/latest/CrossConnectGroup) so you can use link aggregation<br />with the connection.<br /><br />After creating the CrossConnect object, you need to go the FastConnect location<br />and request to have the physical cable installed. For more information, see<br />[FastConnect Overview](/iaas/Content/Network/Concepts/fastconnect.htm).<br /><br />For the purposes of access control, you must provide the [OCID](/iaas/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm) of the<br />compartment where you want the cross-connect to reside. If you're<br />not sure which compartment to use, put the cross-connect in the<br />same compartment with your VCN. For more information about<br />compartments and access control, see<br />[Overview of the IAM Service](/iaas/Content/Identity/Concepts/overview.htm).<br />For information about OCIDs, see<br />[Resource Identifiers](/iaas/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm).<br /><br />You may optionally specify a display name for the cross-connect.<br />It does not have to be unique, and you can change it. Avoid entering confidential information.<br /> |
update | update | crossConnectId, region | if-match | Updates the specified cross-connect. |
delete | delete | crossConnectId, region | if-match | Deletes the specified cross-connect. It must not be mapped to a<br />[VirtualCircuit](#/en/iaas/latest/VirtualCircuit/).<br /> |
change_compartment | exec | crossConnectId, region, compartmentId | opc-request-id, opc-retry-token | Moves a cross-connect into a different compartment within the same tenancy. For information<br />about moving resources between compartments, see<br />[Moving Resources to a Different Compartment](/iaas/Content/Identity/Tasks/managingcompartments.htm#moveRes).<br /> |
Parameters​
Parameters can be passed in the WHERE clause of a query. Check the Methods section to see which parameters are required or optional for each operation.
| Name | Datatype | Description |
|---|---|---|
compartmentId | string | The [OCID](/iaas/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm) of the compartment. |
crossConnectId | string | The [OCID](/iaas/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm) of the cross-connect. |
region | string | OCI region identifier (e.g. us-ashburn-1, ap-sydney-1); resolves from OCI_REGION when not supplied in the query. (default: us-ashburn-1, x-stackQL-envVar: OCI_REGION) |
crossConnectGroupId | string | The [OCID](/iaas/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm) of the cross-connect group. |
displayName | string | A filter to return only resources that match the given display name exactly. |
if-match | string | For optimistic concurrency control. In the PUT or DELETE call for a resource, set the if-match parameter to the value of the etag from a previous GET or POST response for that resource. The resource will be updated or deleted only if the etag you provide matches the resource's current etag value. |
lifecycleState | string | A filter to return only resources that match the specified lifecycle state. The value is case insensitive. |
limit | integer | For list pagination. The maximum number of results per page, or items to return in a paginated "List" call. For important details about how pagination works, see [List Pagination](/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/usingapi.htm#nine). Example: 50 |
opc-request-id | string | Unique identifier for the request. If you need to contact Oracle about a particular request, please provide the request ID. |
opc-retry-token | string | A token that uniquely identifies a request so it can be retried in case of a timeout or server error without risk of executing that same action again. Retry tokens expire after 24 hours, but can be invalidated before then due to conflicting operations (for example, if a resource has been deleted and purged from the system, then a retry of the original creation request may be rejected). |
page | string | For list pagination. The value of the opc-next-page response header from the previous "List" call. For important details about how pagination works, see [List Pagination](/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/usingapi.htm#nine). |
sortBy | string | The field to sort by. You can provide one sort order (sortOrder). Default order for TIMECREATED is descending. Default order for DISPLAYNAME is ascending. The DISPLAYNAME sort order is case sensitive. Note: In general, some "List" operations (for example, ListInstances) let you optionally filter by availability domain if the scope of the resource type is within a single availability domain. If you call one of these "List" operations without specifying an availability domain, the resources are grouped by availability domain, then sorted. |
sortOrder | string | The sort order to use, either ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC). The DISPLAYNAME sort order is case sensitive. |
