After you have [ordered your InterLink](/network/interlink/how-to/order-interlink), further action is required on both the customer side and the [partner](/network/interlink/concepts/#partner) side before the InterLink is provisioned and ready for active use. This page walks you through the steps to take and how to deal with potential problems that could arise.

## Contact partner to request InterLink
27+
28+
After ordering the InterLink from Scaleway, you **must** contact your chosen partner to request that they provision the connection on their side. Scaleway is not able to automatically do this step for you.
29+
30+
1. Click **InterLink** in the **Network** section of the [Scaleway console](https://console.scaleway.com) side menu. A listing of your InterLinks displays.
31+
32+
TODO CHECK THIS WHOLE SECTION
33+
34+
2. Click on the InterLink that you want to finish provisioning. The InterLink's **Overview** page displays.
35+
36+
3. Note down the [pairing key](/network/interlink/concepts/#pairing-key) for your InterLink. This is a unique identification number which the partner will need in order to provision your InterLink.
37+
38+
4. Click **Contact partner**. You are directed either to the partner's online portal, or else to the email address for contacting the partner. Use the relevant method to contact your partner, provide the pairing key, and request that they provision your InterLink from their side.
39+
40+
Your InterLink will remain in `Requested` status until the partner responds to your request.
41+
42+
## Wait for partner to accept InterLink request
43+
44+
Once you have requested the InterLink from your partner, you must wait for them to respond to your request. There is no further action for you to take at this point.
45+
46+
TODO EXPLAIN HOW TO FOLLOW THE STATUSES/WHERE CAN THEY SEE IT
47+
TODO MACRO?
48+
49+
When the partner approves your request, the InterLink moves to `Provisioning` status. This means that the partner has agreed to facilitate your InterLink, and is now preparing the resources and configuration necessary to establish the physical connection.
50+
51+
Your InterLink will remain in `Provisioning` status until this process has been completed.
52+
53+
<Message type="important">
54+
If your InterLink does not move to `Provisioning` status, you may see one of the following statuses:
55+
56+
- `Refused`: The partner did not agree to provision your InterLink. Delete this InterLink resource, and contact your partner for more information. Consider re-ordering with a different partner.
57+
- `Expired`: Your InterLink order timed out: after 10 days, no response was received from the selected partner. Delete the InterLink resource, and create a new order if you wish to try again.
58+
</Message>
59+
60+
## Partner provisions InterLink
61+
62+
TODO MACRO?
63+
64+
When the partner has finished provisioning your InterLink, it moves to `Active` status. This indicates that the physical link and necessary accompanying configuration has been completed on the partner's side, and your InterLink is ready for use. TODO WHERE CAN USER SEE STATUS?
65+
66+
You must still configure your InterLink by attaching it to a VPC, attaching an allowed routes list, and activating route propagation, before traffic can flow over the InterLink. For help with these steps, see our documentation on [How to configure your InterLink](/network/interlink/reference-content/configuring/).

Once your InterLink has been [provisioned](/network/interlink/how-to/complete-provisioning/) by your chosen partner, a number of configuration steps become available to you. These steps must be carried out in order for traffic to successfully flow over your InterLink:
17+
18+
- Attach a VPC
19+
- Create and attach an Allowed Routes list
20+
- Activate route propagation

This document explains how to complete these configuration steps with the Scaleway console.
