Layer 2 Wholesale Network Topology Overview

This configuration explains how to configure a simple Layer 2 wholesale subscriber access network. This solution illustrates two Internet Service Provider (ISP) retailers sharing access to a wholesaler network. The wholesaler network contains Layer 2 Network access routers.

The example shows two different connection options from one subscriber access router to one of the individual ISP access routers. One connection option uses an interface on the subscriber access router to connect directly to the ISP access router.
