In some scenarios, combining the access and network capabilities under the same
port is beneficial. A typical scenario is shown in Figure 1, where a single port hosts
both access-side services and a traffic management model together with
network-side IP/MPLS routing and switching capabilities simultaneously.
In this scenario, a network interface is configured to ensure connectivity between the
cell site 7705 SAR and the aggregation site 7705 SAR. The network interface is used
for all IP/MPLS traffic and is bound to VLAN-1. Another VLAN (VLAN-2) is configured
to bind the management traffic of a microwave radio (an MPR-e) to an access-side
service such as an Ethernet PW or VPLS. For security reasons, many mobile
operators prefer to transport management traffic of network elements under a service
construct as opposed to basic GRT-based routing. To accommodate this preference,
an access-side service and a network interface can be configured to coexist on the
same port when the port is configured for hybrid mode.
