After you order a Cross-Site Interconnect connection, Google sends you
and the NOC (technical contact) an email with your
Letter of Authorization and Connecting Facility Assignment (LOA-CFA)
(one PDF file per connection). You must send these LOA-CFAs to your vendor so
that they can install your connections. If you don't, your connections won't
get connected.
If you can't find the LOA-CFAs in your email, retrieve them from the
Google Cloud console. You can also respond to your order confirmation email for
additional assistance.
After the status of a Cross-Site Interconnect connection changes to PROVISIONED, the
LOA-CFA is no longer valid, necessary, or available in the
Google Cloud console.
