HDLC Layer 2 Services over MPLS

E-series routers support the creation of HDLC layer 2 circuits across an MPLS network. An HDLC layer 2 circuit can carry any standard HDLC traffic (including PPP) or Cisco HDLC traffic between two CE devices across an MPLS network. In an HDLC layer 2 circuit configuration, an E-series router functions as one of the PE routers.

You can configure an HDLC layer 2 circuit between two serial interfaces, between two packet over SONET (POS) interfaces, or between a serial interface and a POS interface. The interfaces at either end of the circuit can operate at the same speed or at different speeds. For example, you can configure an HDLC layer 2 circuit between a serial interface on a T1 circuit and a POS interface on an OC3 circuit.
