, Router1 to Router5 form a dual-homed link to access a Layer 2
network. Router1 and Router5at the edge of the Layer 2 network are directly connected. This
networking is called closed-ring networking. The networking is at the aggregation layer and is
used to aggregate Layer 2 unicast and multicast services. When SEP runs at the aggregation
layer, redundancy protection switching can be implemented at the aggregation layer and the
topology of the SEP segment can be displayed.
On a closed-ring network, two edge interfaces are located on the same edge device.
