Hi all
DSLAM----(PPPoE)---7600----(Xconnect)----7600----(VLAN/PPPoE)---(BRAS ASR1K)
we currently have a distributed access network where the DSLAMs send us PPPoE packets which we are wrapping into xconnects back to a central BRAS.
the xconnects terminate on the upstream device to the BRAS. The BRAS is connected by a VLAN trunk and each DSLAM is identified by a unique VLAN-ID.
so the BRAS gets native PPPoE frames.
I wish to extend the MPLS to the BRAS itself. So that the xconnect ( or VPLS ) terminates on the BRAS itself.
I cant see how to stitch in the PPPoE features to get this to work.
I was thinking about an external looping cable on the same BRAS device but thats a bit crap
Is there a more elegant solution?
many thanks
