All Physical connections shown are 1000BaseT

In Larger sites a third DUW will be directly connected to the SIU and use VLANs 112 and 212.
If required a further DUW will be cascaded via 1000BaseT from one of the existing DUWs.
2G DUGs Traffic and Sync will be via 2xE1s per DUG from the SIU; Packet Abis terminates on the SIU.
SIU OAM will use the 3G OAM address: a.a.a.2, and will route with the 3G OAM traffic to OMCH VRF.

One Vf /30 for OAM for the Tef DUL
One Tef /30 for S1/X2 for the Tef DUL
Note that each DUL supports both L800 and L2600

Internal addresses on DUL

Configuration supporting two DULs, one for
Vodafone and one for Telefonica, will require:
One Vf /31 for the Vf DUL (for OAM (even) and S1/X2 (odd))
One shared /31 for the Tef DUL (even address = OAM to Vf;
