It enables private, high-bandwidth, and low-latency connectivity, bypassing the public internet. Virtual interfaces can be private, for connecting to VPCs, or public, for accessing AWS public services. ``` aws.directconnect_virtual_interface ``` ## Fields | Title | ID | Type | Data Type | Description | | ------------------------- | ---- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | _key | core | string | | account_id | core | string | | address_family | core | string | The address family for the BGP peer. | | amazon_address | core | string | The IP address assigned to the Amazon interface. | | amazon_side_asn | core | int64 | The autonomous system number (AS) for the Amazon side of the connection. | | asn | core | int64 | The autonomous system number (ASN). The valid range is from 1 to 2147483646 for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) configuration. If you provide a number greater than the maximum, an error is returned. Use asnLong instead. You can use asnLong or asn, but not both. We recommend using asnLong as it supports a greater pool of numbers. The asnLong attribute accepts both ASN and long ASN ranges. If you provide a value in the same API call for both asn and asnLong, the API will only accept the value for asnLong. | | aws_device_v2 | core | string | The Direct Connect endpoint that terminates the physical connection. | | aws_logical_device_id | core | string | The Direct Connect endpoint that terminates the logical connection. This device might be different than the device that terminates the physical connection. | | bgp_peers | core | json | The BGP peers configured on this virtual interface. | | connection_id | core | string | The ID of the connection. | | customer_address | core | string | The IP address assigned to the customer interface. | | customer_router_config | core | string | The customer router configuration. | | direct_connect_gateway_id | core | string | The ID of the Direct Connect gateway. | | jumbo_frame_capable | core | bool | Indicates whether jumbo frames are supported. | | location | core | string | The location of the connection. | | mtu | core | int64 | The maximum transmission unit (MTU), in bytes. The supported values are 1500 and 8500. The default value is 1500 | | owner_account | core | string | The ID of the Amazon Web Services account that owns the virtual interface. | | region | core | string | The Amazon Web Services Region where the virtual interface is located. | | route_filter_prefixes | core | json | The routes to be advertised to the Amazon Web Services network in this Region. Applies to public virtual interfaces. | | site_link_enabled | core | bool | Indicates whether SiteLink is enabled. | | tags | core | hstore_csv | | virtual_gateway_id | core | string | The ID of the virtual private gateway. Applies only to private virtual interfaces. | | virtual_interface_arn | core | string | | virtual_interface_id | core | string | The ID of the virtual interface. | | virtual_interface_name | core | string | The name of the virtual interface assigned by the customer network. The name has a maximum of 100 characters. The following are valid characters: a-z, 0-9 and a hyphen (-). | | virtual_interface_state | core | string | The state of the virtual interface. The following are the possible values: confirming: The creation of the virtual interface is pending confirmation from the virtual interface owner. If the owner of the virtual interface is different from the owner of the connection on which it is provisioned, then the virtual interface will remain in this state until it is confirmed by the virtual interface owner. verifying: This state only applies to public virtual interfaces. Each public virtual interface needs validation before the virtual interface can be created. pending: A virtual interface is in this state from the time that it is created until the virtual interface is ready to forward traffic. available: A virtual interface that is able to forward traffic. down: A virtual interface that is BGP down. testing: A virtual interface is in this state immediately after calling StartBgpFailoverTest and remains in this state during the duration of the test. deleting: A virtual interface is in this state immediately after calling DeleteVirtualInterface until it can no longer forward traffic. deleted: A virtual interface that cannot forward traffic. rejected: The virtual interface owner has declined creation of the virtual interface. If a virtual interface in the Confirming state is deleted by the virtual interface owner, the virtual interface enters the Rejected state. unknown: The state of the virtual interface is not available. | | virtual_interface_type | core | string | The type of virtual interface. The possible values are private, public and transit. | | vlan | core | int64 | The ID of the VLAN. |
