Outlines the concepts, requirements, configuration, and operational modes for deploying pseudowire over MPLS and point-to-point Layer 2 services, including supported topologies, service modes, redundancy, and local switching between attachment circuits.
Point-to-point Layer 2 services
Introduces point-to-point Layer 2 services, detailing local switching mechanisms, attachment circuit configurations, and pseudowire concepts for connecting remote sites over MPLS infrastructure.
Pseudowire over MPLS
Describes pseudowire over MPLS operation, covering route processor failover requirements, traffic transport topologies, static cross-connect circuit functionality and requirements, as well as procedures for configuring static and dynamic point-to-point cross-connects.
Pseudowire modes over MPLS
Explains available pseudowire over MPLS service modes, including Ethernet port, VLAN, VLAN passthrough, redundancy, and Inter-AS modes; outlines configuration steps and requirements for each mode, including redundancy and manual switchover procedures.
Local switching between attachment circuits
Details local switching between attachment circuits by introducing the concept and providing configuration procedures for enabling seamless traffic forwarding within a single device.
