How to set up a PNI VLAN

The PNI VLAN (Private Network Interconnect VLAN) service allows clients to securely and efficiently connect their networks across one or more distinct locations. This service leverages virtual networks (VLANs) to extend existing connections, providing a flexible solution that adapts to various interconnection needs. Available in major cities such as Lille, Lyon/Grenoble, Marseille, Paris, Toulouse, the PNI VLAN facilitates data exchanges between different sites using shared ports.

Technically, PNI VLAN operates by adding VLANs to existing ports, simplifying traffic flow management and offering clear network segmentation. This service ensures fast and reliable interconnection, ideal for businesses looking to optimize their network infrastructure while maintaining high security and consistent performance.

The L2 link is configured by France-IX on the client's connection ports towards the selected recipient(s).

FAQs

Local peering connects your network to all France-IX members in a city via a shared exchange LAN. PNI VLAN is a dedicated private connection between two specific networks: traffic does not transit through the public LAN. It is the right solution when you need isolation, precise latency guarantees or high traffic volumes with a specific partner.

France-IX PNI VLAN is available from 1 Gbit/s to 40 Gbit/s as standard. Higher capacities, up to 100 Gbit/s and beyond, are available on request. Bandwidth can be adjusted at any time without any physical changes to your existing port.

Guaranteed latencies are below 1.5ms for intra-region connections and below 12ms for inter-city connections (between our Points of Presence in Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Paris and Toulouse). These performances are guaranteed by France-IX's redundant fibre optic infrastructure.

No. PNI VLAN is activated by adding VLANs to your existing France-IX port. No additional physical intervention or new cross-connect is required on your side. France-IX configures the L2 links on the infrastructure side.
