ZXDSL 9210 (V3.1) Broadband Universal Access Equipment Technical Manual

8.1.3 Convergence of Multiple 9210 Devices
The BAS is generally located at the convergence layer. When several ZXDSL 9210
devices are accessed to the BAS, convergence is required for access to the BAS.
Normally, Layer 2 switching equipment is used to provide convergence. The
networking diagrams of ADSL, VDSL, and Ethernet user access are similar to each
other, therefore ADSL or VDSL user access networking is taken for example. As
shown in Fig. 8.1-5, the equipment is connected uplink with a BAS (ZTE UAS2500 or
UAS5000 can be used).

The Layer 2 switch for ZXDSL 9210 convergence must support VLAN. The ZXDSL
9210 devices must be isolated by different VLANs. If a Layer 2 device is connected
with other subscribers at the same time, VLAN isolation is also required.
