Cisco ASR 9000 Series Configuration Guidelines

CHAPTER 5
Implementing Point to Point Layer 2 Services
This module provides conceptual and configuration information for point-to-point Layer 2 (L2) connectivity.
These point-to-point services are supported:
• Local Switching—A point-to-point circuit internal to a single Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, also known
as local connect.
• Pseudowires—A virtual point-to-point circuit from a Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. Pseudowires are
implemented over MPLS.
Point to Point Layer 2 Services are also called as MPLS Layer 2 VPNs.
Note
For more information about Point to Point Layer 2 Services on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router and for
descriptions of the commands listed in this module, see the “Related Documents” section. To locate
documentation for other commands that might appear while executing a configuration task, search online in
the Cisco IOS XR software master command index.
