SwissIX - how to get connected
SwissIX always welcomes new participants and members - this is a step-by-step procedure how to get connected fast and easy.
- Prerequisites. You need to have an AS number (Autonomous System) and provider independent IP Address space, at least one C-Class (/24). You don't have to be LIR of one of the regional internet registries. We do welcome not only ISP's and carriers, but also corporates and content providers.
- Please read the connection agreement. It comes into force as soon as your equipment is physically connected. If you don't agree with it, please do not consider to connect to SwissIX.
- Please consider to become member of the SwissIX association (if you would like to become a voting member), otherwise, please register your company or your privat individual participation by filling in the registration form. Additionally we require your membership- and setup fee to be paid in advance for the first year.
- Select the SwissIX location which suits you best. Please note: you may peer with participants of any location regardless of your own. If you're not yet at any SwissIX site, please see the list of available carriers.
