Creating a Cloud Interconnect static route

Use Lumen Connect℠ to create static routes for your Lumen® Cloud Interconnect. These manually configured network paths provide a fixed, predictable route for data to flow. They are specific to the Cloud Interconnect Multi-Cloud Gateway they are created for and apply based on the next hop.
