Leveraging DPCs for EVPN deployment

DPCs can be leveraged to provide support for Ethernet VPN (EVPN) functionality. The DPC support for EVPN is provided with the following considerations: 

• DPCs provide support for EVPN in the active-standby mode of operation including support for the following: 
• EVPN instance (EVI) 
• Virtual switch (VS) 
• Integrated routing and bridging (IRB) interfaces 
• DPCs intended for providing the EVPN active-standby support should be the customer edge (CE) device-facing line card. The provider edge (PE) device interfaces in the EVPN domain should use only MPC and MIC interfaces.
