[c-nsp] ME 3600X questions

[Arie Vayner (avayner)]

Why do you want to do this?
What is the objective?

If these are 2 back-to-back switches, why not just switch?

Dear all,

While speaking of 3600X, we are thinking about using 2 of them at each end of a 10G point-to-point WAN link, possibly running VPLS (not sure we really need this, QinQ may suffise). According to our SE, VPLS is supported but they have never tested our topology (ie only 2 boxes put back to back) and are appearantly not 100% sure it will work.

Did any of you already tried something similar?

Thanks,
Vincent
