CAN WE CONNECT TWO SAME CITIY CUSTOMER ROUTERS TO SINGLE MPLS ROUTER 

FOR SAY CUSTOMER HAS TWO BRANCH OFFICES IN WORLI AND ANDHERI, YOU HAVE TO CONNECT THESE TWO CUSTOMER OFFICES VIA SINGLE MPLS ROUTER OF MUMBAI LOCATION.

Hello,

 

I don't see why that is not possible. You need an MPLS circuit from both branch offices to the Mumbai office, a single router can terminate both circuits. Then again, since that answer seems to easy, I am probably missing something. What are you running into exactly ? What router(s) do you have at the branches and the main office ?

Hello Georg Pauwen,

 

The two offices of customer are actually the two independent departments (one is their Warehouse and other is the R&D department) and they have asked for MPLS L3 services from the ISP. And being an ISP we are exploring the feasibility of giving services to them with our single MPLS router. 

 

connectivity  attached for better understanding

 

 

How are the two customers currently terminating ? Either way it should not be a problem.

Hi @AMANBHARDWAJ ,

 

This is in fact a very common scenario. The PE is almost always shared between different customers. The routes from each customer will be loaded in a separate VRF, creating an isolation from other customers sharing the same PE.
