Upgrade Cross Connect to the latest version
We recommend upgrading your existing version of the Cross Connect to its latest version. The latest version of the feature comes with additional capabilities that will allow you to connect all VDCs in the same region.
Note: Remember that upgrading the feature may result in a downtime of less than five minutes and you may also encounter a network drop during this time.
You can either upgrade a Cross Connect from the Inspector pane or via the Manage Cross Connects window.
