Note A port-mapped, point-to-point circuit cannot join an E-Series port-based VLAN, but can transport
external VLANs.
E-Series Shared Packet Ring Ethernet Circuits
A shared packet ring allows additional nodes (besides the source and destination nodes) access to an
Ethernet STS circuit. The E-Series card ports on the additional nodes can share the circuit’s VLAN and
bandwidth. Figure 23-21 illustrates a shared packet ring. Your network architecture might differ from
the example.
