Multipoint-to-Multipoint Networking

Multipoint-to-multipoint networking enables you to interconnect assets deployed across many locations through a common network instead of requiring direct connections between individual locations.

Depending on the asset you want to connect, we offer the following network types:

  • EP-LAN - a layer 2 multipoint-to-multipoint network with connections established on VLAN based Fabric EVPL ports or on Network Edge virtual devices.
  • EVP-LAN - a layer 2 multipoint-to-multipoint network with connections established on dedicated (untagged) Fabric EPL ports.
  • IP-WAN - a layer 3 multipoint-to-multipoint network for connecting your Fabric Cloud Routers to create a single wide area network. See Create an IP-WAN for more information.

You can define a Layer 2 multipoint-to-multipoint network as either local, regional, or global:

  • Local - network your assets within a metro.
  • Regional - network your assets within a region (AMER/EMEA/APAC)
  • Global - network your assets globally.

To take advantage of Multipoint-to-Multipoint connections, first Create a Network and then Connect to a Network.
