MIAX Options, MIAX Pearl Options and MIAX Emerald Options Exchanges - Announcing New Extranet Access to Firm Test Beds (FTB1 and FTB2) and Decommissioning of Access via Production Connections Beginning in October 2024
MIAX Options, MIAX Pearl Options, and MIAX Emerald Options Exchanges will migrate Firm Test Beds (FTB1 and FTB2) to a new extranet beginning in October 2024. The migration to the new extranet will provide Members and non-Members with a single dedicated 1Gb or 10Gb extranet to access the Firm Test Bed environments for MIAX Options, MIAX Emerald Options, MIAX Pearl Options and MIAX Sapphire Options. Existing access through the production 1Gb and 10Gb extranets will be decommissioned over the next six months. Access to testing system environments via a virtual private network (“VPN”) will not be impacted.
What Firms need to do:
- Request connectivity (for both unicast and multicast test bed data) to the new dedicated extranet
- Source subnets will not change for MIAX Pearl Options and MIAX Emerald Options. Multicast source subnet and RP addresses will change for MIAX Options. MIAX will provide new transit IPs for the new cross connects. Firms will need to update their test environments for routing and access controls to support the changes.
- For further details, please review the MIAX Connectivity Guide
- Firms can begin requesting Letters of Authorization (LOA) on October 1, 2024
- Migration must be completed by February 28, 2025
- FTB Extranet Access will be fee liable beginning December 1, 2024. Applicable fees will be announced in a future alert.
