If you are in S&D/PAIX's facility, you have two options for connecting to the SIX:
- direct to the SIX core via the fiber-meet-me-room, thus no VLAN. You won't get access to the PAIX-SEA fabric with this method, but if what you really want is the SIX, this is the way to go. - direct to the PAIX-SEA switch, in which case you'll need to instruct S&D to enable your port to also have access to the SIX fabric. Your router will have two VLAN interfaces on the port, one for PAIX-SEA and one for the SIX. Feel free to direct further questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you like.
