Troubleshooting & Gotchas
- VMRack does not publish self-service tooling for BYOIP; onboarding appears to require direct engagement with VMRack for LOA/RPKI review and manual BGP configuration.
- IPv6 BYOIP support is not documented on VMRack's public solution page, so IPv6 prefix holders should confirm feasibility directly with VMRack.
