VPLS: Virtual Private LAN Service

VPLS allows you to connect geographically dispersed customer sites as if they were connected to the same LAN. For any sites in the VPLS domain that are geographically remote, you must use a Tunnel Services or the Link Services PIC. When all sites in the VPLS domain are local, you do not need this PIC. The router must have one of the following PICs: 4-port Fast Ethernet PIC with 10/100 Base-TX interfaces, 1-port Gigabit Ethernet PIC, 2-port Gigabit Ethernet PIC, 4-port, 4-slot Gigabit Ethernet PIC.
