L2 services for clients

[Superdust]

Hi

I have some customers requesting L2 services.
I.E where they want a L2 connection between site A, B and C.

In the past I have done a few of these using VLANs.
But this have not worked out so great.
For instance if the client has network problems, loops etc, this effects my network.

How do you offer you clients L2 services, that is risk free for your network?

You can switch to Layer 1 and provide dark fiber to clients if you are using fiber optics or use EoIP tunnels.
This way clients will be completely isolated from your network.

This sounds like the terrible wireless provider in our area. The whole network is bridged 1500+ clients. It’s a joke. What are the details of your network?
