  **Request Syntax**
  ::

    response = client.describe_interconnects(
        interconnectId='string',
        maxResults=123,
        nextToken='string'
    )
    
  :type interconnectId: string
  :param interconnectId: 

    The ID of the interconnect.

    

  
  :type maxResults: integer
  :param maxResults: 

    The maximum number of results to return with a single call. To retrieve the remaining results, make another call with the returned ``nextToken`` value.

     

    If ``MaxResults`` is given a value larger than 100, only 100 results are returned.

    

  
  :type nextToken: string
  :param nextToken: 

    The token for the next page of results.
