I created a public virtual interface, but it's still in the "Verifying" state. How can I get my public virtual interface approved?
Short Description
When you create a public virtual interface, the following information is subject to approval by the AWS Direct Connect team:
- The BGP Autonomous System Number (only if it is a public ASN)
- The Public peer IP addresses
- The Public prefixes that you plan to advertise over the virtual interface
Before approving this information, the AWS Direct Connect team must verify your ownership of the public IP prefixes and BGP ASN. The team verifies ownership by confirming that the regional registry information belongs to the organization listed in your AWS account.
