  • This really depends on the services you’re paying for from the colo.

    Assuming they offer internet services, you can probably chooses between a static or dynamic IP for your WAN IP. For your internal network, you would be responsible for DHCP or static assignment.

    You’ll also need a security device like a firewall or router that can perform NAT for your internal addresses.

    This info is assuming a lot, I’m not sure if you’re paying for a service that might include the WAN networking component, or if you’re just paying for power and real estate.

    Happy to help with any more info if you have specific questions.

    Also, you should be able to physically access your gear yourself so you’re not paying for smart hands. I would ask the colo of their access hours are anything other than 24/7.
