Looking Glass
All participants are required to peer with the SFMIX Looking Glass. It serves several purposes:
- Validate your router configuration when first connecting
- Test configuration changes against a low-impact peer with a self-service view of what the LG sees from you
- Public visibility into what prefixes are present at the exchange
- Quick reachability check for SFMIX operators
Quarantine VLAN
A parallel Looking Glass runs on the Quarantine VLAN with the same addresses as production. New participants can test their Ethernet, IP, and BGP configuration safely before joining the production peering LAN.
