Figure 47: E-Line Service
When Ridgeline provisions an E-Line service, it also adds the VLAN, VMAN, or PBB BVLAN to an
EAPS domain on the devices where the VLAN/VMAN/BVLAN is configured.
E-LAN Service
An E-LAN service is a multipoint-to-multipoint EVC, as illustrated in Figure 48. An E-LAN service can
have two or more UNI ports connected to CE devices. E-LAN services can be created to support
Ethernet Private LAN (EP-LAN) and Ethernet Virtual Private LAN (EVP-LAN) services.
