Help with setting up Metro Ethernet

mbroberson1

Level 3

Can someone please help and give suggestions and possible configuration options for setting up metro ethernet in the following senario:

Will be setting up ME between headquarters and three remote branch offices. Each remote branch will be provisioned to 10MB, and the headquarters will have one link for the aggregate provisioned to 30MB.

My questions, we will have routers at the remotes, but how will this terminate at the headquarters? Do we connect the one ME aggregate connection to a router, or to a L3 switch? And how do you configure the headquarters devices to separate the traffic? Do you use sub interfaces like in frame relay? Please provide a sample config if possible.

Thanks

I think you can use L3 switch or router, it 's ok. You should hire L2VPN over ME.
At branches you can configure interface vlan (switch) or IP directly on port (router)
At headquarter you can configure trunk port with interface vlan or sub-interfaces with dot1q
ME is transparent with you and similar to Layer 2 cable.
Thanks & Best Regard
