Connect My Assets Using E-Access

Create an E-Access service between your provider port (QinQ) and your subscriber port (EPL). An S-tag must be specified for the provider side of the connection only. All data travels within the security of a Layer 2 dedicated, high-capacity, one-to-many connection at native Ethernet speeds. Access EPL can provide a high degree of transparency for Ethernet services.
