To ensure that your connection to the INX is easy, as well as secure, we have created a set of templates for the configuration of various types of hardware in common use at the exchange point.
We recommend that you use a Layer 3 device to connect to the INXes; doing so, minimises your risk of creating any unnecessary loops. Below are some configurations that should help if you connect directly to a router (preferred)
