Connect Resources and Apps
You can connect and disconnect resources and Apps that are linked by a connection route. For information about connection routes, see Connectivity
In this article:
Viewing connection status
To view the connection status of a connection:
- Click a connection. A context menu is displayed.
The icon at the center of the menu circle indicates the current state of the route - Connected or Disconnected.
For more details about the connection, from the side-panel, select Properties.
Connecting or disconnecting reserved resources
You can connect or disconnect connections of type Route, Tap, Cable, and Connector (for connections involving Apps). Connecting and disconnecting a connection creates/removes the internal mapping required for the connection.
Note: When reserving a blueprint that has connection routes, the default setup script automatically connects all physical and virtual network connections. And when a sandbox ends, all the route mappings of the sandbox are cleared by the default teardown script. For additional information, see CloudShell Sandbox Template.
To connect or disconnect a reserved route:
- Click a connection.
From the Actions context menu, click the appropriate option (Connect or Disconnect).
Note: You cannot connect or disconnect deployed Apps to or from a subnet.
Connecting all endpoints of a VLAN service
It is also possible to connect all endpoints that are connected to a VLAN service using the service's Connect All command.
Note: Subnet services are automatically deployed during the sandbox's setup phase by CloudShell's Default Sandbox Setup script, but do not have a Connect All command.
To connect a VLAN service's endpoints:
- In the sandbox, click the VLAN service.
Select Commands.
The Service Commands pane is displayed on the right.
Click Connect All.
Note: If the command is missing, ask your administrator to add the VLAN service model to the Vlan Service Connect All script in the Scripts - Resource management page.
