Direct Connect - New Advertise Routes

Question

I need to advertise new prefixes to AWS over my Direct Connect. I am assuming AWS needs to be able to accept these prefixes based on the exact match of prefix length. How do I go about having AWS accept this prefix?

I looked at opening a ticket but there is no option to open a ticket.

Thanks,

Are you talking about advertising new prefixes over DX Public VIF? If yes you need to open a support ticket. This is a mechanism to make sure certain validations are done before the route is installed in the routing table.

**************************

Prefixes you want to advertise (Public virtual interface only)

You may add additional prefixes to an existing public VIF and advertise those by contacting AWS support. In your support case, provide a list of additional CIDR prefixes you want to add to the public VIF and advertise.
