MPLS Network for an Enterprise

[prakashj]

Hi,

I am desiging an MPLS network for an enterprise customer. He would like to have both L2 and L3 VPNs (EoMPLS and VPLS). Initially I thought of positioning ASR1000 but later I ruled it out as it does not support VPLS. So it comes down to 7600. Then I have seen that we have 67XX, ES20 and SIP400 line cards. So what should be my choice for CE facing and Core facing line cards to run all the MPLS services (including MVPN). The customer needs only 3 ports to the access and 1 port as uplink.

Regards,

Prakash

Hi Prakash,

Definately go for the 7600 ES Line Cards:

They look like more than enough to do the job for your requirements.

HTH.
