    摘要: An example method includes receiving, from a customer system by a cloud exchange comprising processing circuitry, a request to communicatively couple a virtual gateway on network infrastructure of the cloud exchange to a network gateway communicatively coupled to a public network, the request including data indicating a public Internet Protocol (IP) address of the customer system, wherein the customer system is configured with a first connection communicatively coupling the customer system and the public network via a network service provider (NSP) that is separate from the cloud exchange; configuring, by the cloud exchange, a network route for a network gateway to the virtual gateway, the network gateway communicatively coupled to the public network; and providing, by the cloud exchange to the network gateway, routing information including the public IP address of the customer system to create a second connection communicatively coupling the customer system and the public network.
