Hi, 2547bis says "A customer edge (CE) device provides customer access to the service provider network over a data link to one or more provider edge (PE) routers. While the CE device can be a host or a Layer 2 switch, typically the CE device is an IP router that establishes an adjacency with its directly connected PE routers." Suppose a customer has a L2 CE device (switch) & his requirement is that he has to be accomodated on to the Providers existing BGP/MPLS L3 VPN based setup with his CE device. i have heard there is a workaround for such scenarios wherein...a sort of virtual router that mimics a L3 CE device is created on the PE of the provider which connects to L2 CE..and the VPN in turn starts from the PE connecting to this PE. my question?? need clarity -whether this works and how exactly this will work if it will. will be thankful to be referred to links that explore such a scenario Regards, Devendra Vyas ------- The MPLS-OPS Mailing List Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.mplsrc.com/mplsops.shtml Archive: http://www.mplsrc.com/mpls-ops_archive.shtml
