Hello Bhupesh

These are topics that are not currently covered on the site. However, you can go to the following section of the site and make suggestions for new lessons there:

> **[Lesson Ideas - NetworkLessons.com](https://networklessons.com/lesson-ideas)**
>
> This page allows networklessons members to share what content they would like to see in the future.

You may find that others have made similar suggestions as you, and you can add your voice to theirs. You can then follow along to see if/when new lessons are added.

I hope this has been helpful!

On this,  
Can anyone please guide me what we need to adjust on VPLS customer side connectivity ?

We had MPLS layer 3 vpn but now changed to VPLS.  
Vpls provider saying the port they delivered is configured as access port with 802.1q encap.

Do we need to adjust routing between CE ? Whats the next hop ?? Or since it is purely layer 2, we just tag and untag the vlans on upstream port in each side ?

Hello Binod

Take a look at this response:

> [@Introduction to Metro Ethernet](https://forum.networklessons.com/t/introduction-to-metro-ethernet/1677/23):
>
> Hello Binod Yes, you are correct VPLS is indeed a Layer 2 technology, so there is no routing involved. VPLS is a type of Metro Ethernet, which essentially delivers a Layer 2 pipe to each of your remote sites. VPLS is one of several implementations of Metro Ethernet that you can find out about in this lesson: [https://networklessons.com/cisco/ccna-routing-switching-icnd2-200-105/introduction-to-metro-ethernet](https://networklessons.com/cisco/ccna-routing-switching-icnd2-200-105/introduction-to-metro-ethernet) VPLS is sometimes called Ethernet LAN service. How do you implement routing in this…
