The Layer 2 Services section of the RtBrick FullStack (RBFS) User Guides details the essential technical documentation and operational commands needed to configure and manage Layer 2 services.

Key Features:

  • Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) is a Layer 2 technology akin to BGP/MPLS IP VPN, utilizing extended BGP for reachability and advertisements across Layer 2 networks. The EVPN Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) is a point-to-point (P2P) service based on this architecture.

  • BGP-signaled L2VPN refers to classic Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks that utilize BGP signaling.

  • LDP-signaled L2VPN involves traditional pseudowires that are LDP-signaled for point-to-point connections.

  • L2X allows for direct local Layer 2 cross-connects to bridge ports or VLANs.
