Gig link question

[wuh]

We have a gig link from Verizon. two sides are 15 miles away. Today, one side shows up/up the other down/down.

Why is that? what kind of connection is this?

Thanks,

Han

Hello Han,

there is L2 transport service in the middle so one side can be up/up while the other is down/down

Metro Ethernet or EoMPLS or VPLS

you should use an IP routing protocol to detect the remote site failure

Hope to help
