# ionoscloud\_private\_crossconnect

The **Cross Connect data source** can be used to search for and return existing cross connects. If a single match is found, it will be returned. If your search results in multiple matches, an error will be returned. When this happens, please refine your search string so that it is specific enough to return only one result.

## Example Usage

### By ID

```hcl
data "ionoscloud_private_crossconnect" "example" {
  id       = "private_crossconnect_id"
}
```

### By Name

```hcl
data "ionoscloud_private_crossconnect" "example" {
  name     = "Cross Connect Example"
}
```

## Argument Reference

* `name` - (Optional) Name of an existing cross connect that you want to search for.
* `id` - (Optional) ID of the cross connect you want to search for.

Either `name` or `id` must be provided. If none, or both are provided, the datasource will return an error.

## Attributes Reference

The following attributes are returned by the datasource:

* `id` - Id of the found cross connect
* `name` - Name of the cross connect
* `description` - Description of cross connect
* `peers` - Lists LAN's joined to this cross connect
  * `lan_id` - The id of the cross-connected LAN
  * `lan_name` - The name of the cross-connected LAN
  * `datacenter_id` - The id of the cross-connected datacenter
  * `datacenter_name` - The name of the cross-connected datacenter
  * `location` - The location of the cross-connected datacenter
