Jason, You can do this with some of the devices. For example 7600 with ES+ (or ES20/SIP) modules can terminate a pseudowire (either point to point or VPLS...) on a SVI and also have layer 3 configuration on it. The same applies to ASR9000...
This can be used for many interesting solutions such as HSRP across an MPLS domain, Layer 3 services for a VPLS domain etc. The extra hardware is required as this requires extra processing...

For example, in a VLAN centric network, I'd have a node connected to an access port on switch 1. Switch 1 would be connected directly to switch 2 over an appropriately configured 802.1q trunk port or access port. I'd assign an IP to an SVI on switch 2 and as long as the SVI had the same VLAN identifier as the access port on switch 1, I could pass traffic between the SVI on switch 2 and the node connected to the access port on switch 1. Is there an equivalent to this in EoMPLS land where I could do the same thing using two devices that were both acting as P+PE devices? I know that normally you can't assign an IP address on an interface that is also configured with an xconnect, but I'm wondering if there's a feature out there somewhere that could make this sort of thing possible. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
