[c-nsp] WS-X cards on Cat6500 with VPLS

[Arie Vayner (avayner)]

Marlon,

VPLS requires either SIP or ES20 cards both on customer and core facing
sides.
The only way you could do something is to have a central VPLS solution,
with the spokes using point to point EoMPLS PW's.
You can run a VPLS domain on a single box (with ES20/SIP), while running
point to point to point PW's to that box.

For ES20 and VPLS features, it is better to look at 7600 and not 6500.

Hi - does anyone know if  the WS-X...GE type  cards can be used in cat
6500
as access ports in VPLS. What we are trying to do is to have SIP-600
with
10GE SPA to provide VPLS service on the network side (through MPLS) and
have
GE ports on the WS type cards for access. Each GE port in the access on
WS-X.. type cards should support multiple VLANs so that each VLAN can be
assigned to a differetn customer (VPLS).
Thanks,
Marlon
