They are responsible for connecting the customer's network to the provider's network and play a critical role in delivering services, such as virtual private networks (VPNs), internet access, and voice and data communication. PE nodes connecting to dual-homed CE work in active/standby model with active PE taking care of forwarding and standby PE monitoring the active PE status to take over forwarding in case of active PE failure. The nodes require a mechanism to communicate local connectivity failure to the CE and to. In the proposed solution the ACX7024 router acts as a fan-out device and the MX Series router is our choice for the PE-node and performs the following functions: Aggregation and multiplexing of traffic between multiple attached circuits at FO–PE link (s). Attached circuits may be either a plain. PE and P devices are located on the Service Provider site. In contrast, the PE (Provider Edge) is on the service provider's side, connecting to the ISP's network. When several interfaces need to be switched between Layer 2 and Layer 3 modes, run the portswitch batch command in the system view to perform batch switching.
