Aztecsoft-Replicating VLAN over WAN

PCQ Bureau
New Update

The company wanted to ensure access to all network resources to its employees

across nine locations. Being a product engineering specialist, they need to

provide solutions to customers in the shortest possible time. So employees

needed remote access without complexity and without compromising on security.

Another requirement was platform- independent remote network support with

centralized management. So, the company decided to replicate VLAN across the

WAN. This would cause least impact due to the relocation of key personnel, and

contribute towards combating the high attrition rate. It was also decided to

have DR in the least turnaround time. For this, a fiber-based SDH backbone with

self healing ring was extended across all locations to establish intra-office

connectivity using EoSDH Services and Layer 2 MPLS-VPLS with Ethernet hand off

on last miles. This reduced the CPE costs and shortened project life cycles.

Bandwidth can be upgraded on the fly without changing the interface. The VLANs

were replicated across all locations using Q-in-Q trunking. Redundancy was taken

care of and they can now provide a max bandwidth of upto 6 Mbps across various

offices.
