Who can connect?

Anyone with an AS number, IP space (v4 and/or v6), and a PeeringDB record is welcome to connect.

Where do I connect?

MKEIX currently has two points of interconnection:
Data Holdings (3135 W Highland Blvd, Milwaukee, WI 53208)
Wells Building (324 E Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 53202)

What are the available connection types?

You can connect into the IX via single mode fiber only. 1g, 10g, and 100g ports are available. We'd ask that you bring your own SFP, but can supply if needed.

Cost?

There is no charge for 1gig ports. The donor model and group of volunteers make this happen.
10Gbps ports are available for a one-time $500 cost to cover optics on the IX side, cover switching costs, and installation.
100Gbps ports are available for a one-time $2000 cost to cover optics on the IX side, cover switching costs, and installation.
Building management and/or colo providers may also charge cross connect fees to connect. This needs to be negotiated directly.

How should I configure my router and/or switchport?

The folks at AMSIX have written a GREAT config guide for connecting to an exchange (located here: http://www.ams-ix.net/config-guide/). We will actively police members who do not have their devices configured right.

OK, I'm ready to connect, what's next?
