Administrative status of the interconnect. When this is set to true, the Interconnect is functional and can carry traffic. When set to false, no packets can be carried over the interconnect and no BGP routes are exchanged over it. By default, the status is set to true.
nocContactEmailstring
Email address to contact the customer NOC for operations and maintenance notifications regarding this Interconnect. If specified, this will be used for notifications in addition to all other forms described, such as Cloud Monitoring logs alerting and Cloud Notifications. This field is required for users who sign up for Cloud Interconnect using workforce identity federation.

Output only. Number of links actually provisioned in this interconnect.
interconnectAttachments[]string
Output only. A list of the URLs of all InterconnectAttachments configured to use this Interconnect.
peerIpAddressstring
Output only. IP address configured on the customer side of the Interconnect link. The customer should configure this IP address during turnup when prompted by Google NOC. This can be used only for ping tests.

Output only. IP address configured on the Google side of the Interconnect link. This can be used only for ping tests.
googleReferenceIdstring
Output only. Google reference ID to be used when raising support tickets with Google or otherwise to debug backend connectivity issues.

expectedOutages[].namestring
Unique identifier for this outage notification.
expectedOutages[].descriptionstring
A description about the purpose of the outage.
expectedOutages[].sourceenum
The party that generated this notification, which can take the following value:
expectedOutages[].stateenum
State of this notification, which can take one of the following values:
expectedOutages[].issueTypeenum
Form this outage is expected to take, which can take one of the following values:
expectedOutages[].affectedCircuits[]string
If issueType is IT_PARTIAL_OUTAGE, a list of the Google-side circuit IDs that will be affected.

Customer-side demarc ID for this circuit.
labelsmap (key: string, value: string)
Labels for this resource. These can only be added or modified by the setLabels method. Each label key/value pair must comply with RFC1035. Label values may be empty.
labelFingerprintstring (bytes format)
A fingerprint for the labels being applied to this Interconnect, which is essentially a hash of the labels set used for optimistic locking. The fingerprint is initially generated by Compute Engine and changes after every request to modify or update labels. You must always provide an up-to-date fingerprint hash in order to update or change labels, otherwise the request will fail with error 412 conditionNotMet.

macsec.failOpenboolean
If set to true, the Interconnect connection is configured with a should-secure MACsec security policy, that allows the Google router to fallback to cleartext traffic if the MKA session cannot be established. By default, the Interconnect connection is configured with a must-secure security policy that drops all traffic if the MKA session cannot be established with your router.
