Hi,

For VPLS, the access facing line card (where the CE will be connected) can be any LAN cards. But the core facing line card where label imposition/disposition happens should be a WAN card like ES, ES+, SIP/OSM etc.

Since it is a setup between 2 devices, you can try EoMPLS (port based) with this setup. You can enable xconnect on the port connecting to CE router.
