### Google Cloud interconnect (beta)
41+
42+
1. Log in to the [Cloudflare dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com/), and select your account.
43+
2. Select **Interconnects** > **Create new**.
44+
3. Under **Cloud CNI** select **Create new** .
45+
4. Under **Google Integration**, select **Select integration**.
46+
5. Give your interconnect a name and optionally a description. Make sure the **MTU** value matches the MTU configured on the [GCP VLAN attachment](https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/interconnect/how-to/dedicated/creating-vlan-attachments).
47+
6. Select **Continue**.
48+
7. From the **Interface speed** dropdown menu, select an **Interface speed**. GCP will charge you based on the speed of the interconnect that you choose.
49+
8. Enter your [VLAN attachment pairing key](https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/interconnect/how-to/partner/creating-vlan-attachments).
50+
9. Select **Continue**.
51+
10. Review the details you provided and select **Confirm order**.

Your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) interconnect will take a few minutes to be available. A BGP session will be established but no routes will be exchanged.

#### GCP next steps
56+
57+
You can now select **View interconnects** for a list of all interconnects on your account. Select the interconnect name to show the interconnect details. The interconnect has a unique **Interconnect ID**.

After you have configured your Google Cloud Interconnect, you will need to add routes to use the interconnect:
60+
61+
- To create routes in the Magic routing table to direct traffic towards GCP:
62+
- Add [static routes](/magic-wan/configuration/manually/how-to/configure-routes/#configure-static-routes) to your Magic WAN routing table with [legacy bidirectional tunnel health checks](/magic-wan/configuration/manually/how-to/configure-tunnels/#legacy-bidirectional-health-checks) to detect failures and steer traffic to alternative paths.
63+
- Note that routes advertised by BGP from GCP Cloud Router will be ignored.
64+
- To create routes in GCP routing table to direct traffic towards Cloudflare, you must use the GCP Cloud Router:
65+
- Add [custom learned routes to Cloud Router](https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/router/how-to/configure-custom-learned-routes).
66+
- Use the BGP session. Reach out to your account team to request a list of one or more prefixes to advertise, and specify the interconnect ID you want to advertise over.
