Using L1 and L2 mix in an blueprint

Customer wants to use L2 switch in conjunction with L1 in an environment in order to minimize the use of expensive L1. We probably have some solution for this, in specific use cases. This needs to be formalized

Thanks,

Sadanand

Hi, thank you for posting this idea. Adding an official support to L1 and L2 combination fits our roadmap and we will consider it. It will be great if you can detail the specific use cases you have in mind as it will help us with evaluating the right solution for this. Looking forward to see the votes and comments.

Hi Alona,

The use case I came across is where one of the endpoints is connected to a L2 directly, the other endpoint is connected to a L2 switch through the L1 switch. In this case, user expects VLAN to be configured on both interfaces of L2 switch.

Test eqpt <- -> L1 <- -> L2 <--> DUT

Regards,

Sadanand

Hello,

We have the same use-case as above and would like to see this implemented too.

It would also be useful if a logical route connector would resolve both L1 and L2 paths, since using the visual connector for L2 paths (e.g. with P2P VLAN Default service) is awkward with abstract resources: unless port attributes are bound on the abstract resource, any available port may be resolved for a sandbox even if the port is not connected to a L2 switch and to add those port attributes, we may need to modify several shell drivers.

While we could work around the issue with the visual connector by developing a L2 driver which masquerades as a L1 shell, this would then not play well with deployed Apps which depend on the P2P VLAN service on the B-end if these are connected to another resource via L2.

Kind regards,

Paul
