Next step: Add your ExpressRoute circuit to a Skytap on Azure ExpressRoute connection
To connect your ExpressRoute circuit to a Skytap on Azure ExpressRoute connection, see Creating and editing a Skytap on Azure ExpressRoute connection.
If you delete a Skytap on Azure ExpressRoute connection that uses a customer-managed Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute circuit, the ExpressRoute circuit isn’t deleted, but only detached from the Skytap on Azure ExpressRoute connection. If you want to delete the ExpressRoute circuit, you must manually delete it from the Microsoft Azure interface.
