**Note:**

* On the Cross Connect list screen, you can see the newly created Cross Connect with the status '<mark style="color:blue;">**Provisioning**</mark>' (which means the system is establishing the connection).
* During the setup process for this Cross Connect, the system requires time to authenticate between the two regions, so it <mark style="color:blue;">**may take up to 20 minutes to complete**</mark>. Once the system finishes processing, the status will automatically change to '<mark style="color:blue;">**Active**</mark>.'
* At this point, the user can proceed to [create a VPC connection](/vng-cloud-document/vnetwork/cross-connect/create-a-vpc-connection.md) between the two regions.
