For Cisco RPRs, the L2 protection state (Wrapped or Steering) is not reflected in the L2 topology state 
through Prime Optical GateWay/CORBA.
Creating Service Connections
Prime Optical contains an L2 service provisioning wizard to facilitate provisioning of VLANs over a 
defined L2 topology. You can define each Ethernet port as User-Network Interface (UNI) or 
Network-Network Interface (NNI). VLANs on an Ethernet port are referred to as port VLANs. VLANs 
on PoS and SPR ports (and their connected circuits) are referred to as service provider VLANs (or circuit 
VLANs
).
You cannot mix NNI and UNI connections on the same port. Prime Optical supports the following types 
of service configurations:
UNI QinQ Access (user VLAN and protocol transparency)—Cannot be combined with other 
connection types on the same port.
