 ## Convert a legacy Exchange peering to an Azure resource
 
-As an Internet Exchange Provider, you can create an exchange peering request by [Creating a Peering]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2129593).
+As an Internet Exchange Provider, you can convert a legacy exchange peering to an Azure resource using the Azure portal: 
+
+1. In the search box at the top of the portal, enter ***peering***. Select **Peerings** from the search results.
+
+1. On the **Peerings** page, select **+ Create**.
+
+1. On the **Basics** tab of **Create a Peering** page, enter, or select the following values:
+
+    | Setting | Value |
+    | --- | --- |
+    | **Project Details** |  |
+    | Subscription | Select your Azure subscription. |
+    | Resource Group | Select a resource group or create a new one. |
+    | **Instance details** |  |
+    | Name | Enter a name for the peering you're creating. |
+    | Peer ASN | Select your ASN. |

-1. On the **Create a Peering** page, on the **Basics** tab, fill in the boxes as shown here:
+  > [!IMPORTANT]  
+  > You can only choose an ASN with ValidationState as Approved before you submit a peering request. If you just submitted your PeerAsn request, wait for 12 hours or so for ASN association to be approved. If the ASN you select is pending validation, you'll see an error message. If you don't see the ASN you need to choose, check that you selected the correct subscription. If so, check if you have already created PeerAsn using **[Associate Peer ASN to Azure subscription](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2129592)**.

+1.  Select **Next : Configuration >**.
 
-* Select your Azure Subscription.
+1. On the **Configuration** tab, enter, or select the following values:
 
-* For Resource group, you can either choose an existing resource group from the drop-down list or create a new group by selecting Create new. We'll create a new resource group for this example.
+    | Setting | Value |
+    | --- | --- |
+    | Peering type | Select **Exchange**. |
+    | SKU | Select **Basic Free**. |
+    | Metro | Select the metro location where you want to convert peering to an Azure resource. If you have peering connections with Microsoft in the selected metro location that aren't converted to an Azure resource, they'll be listed in the **Peering connections** section. |
 
-* Name corresponds to the resource name and can be anything you choose.

-* Region is auto-selected if you chose an existing resource group. If you chose to create a new resource group, you also need to choose the Azure region where you want the resource to reside.
+    > [!NOTE]
+    > You can't modify settings for legacy peering connections. If you want to add additional peering connections with Microsoft in the selected **Metro** location, select **Create new**. For more information, see [Create or modify an Exchange peering using the portal](howto-exchange-portal.md).
 
-  >[!NOTE]
-  >The region where a resource group resides is independent of the location where you want to create peering with Microsoft. But it's a best practice to organize your peering resources within resource groups that reside in the closest Azure regions. For example, for peerings in Ashburn, you can create a resource group in East US or East US2.
+1. Select **Review + create**. 
 
-* Select your ASN in the **PeerASN** box.
+1. Review the settings, and then select **Create**.
