You are a network designer for the P4S company, study the exhibit carefully. You are asked to design a Layer 2 VPN. Now, 90% of traffic from the remote branches of P4S comes to HQ. There are hubs and old switches at remotes not having dot1q capability. But at the remote branches, P4S has not the budget to invest in new equipment. Other than converting the remote branches to Layer 2 VPN, P4S would like to connect all the branches to the HQ site to make sure that the branches have access to dot1q capability. How to meet this requirement, if not, why?
A) They cannot be met, because EoMPLS in port mode requires VPLS.
B) They can be met, but require Ethernet to dot1q interworking between the PEs.
C) They can be met, but EoMPLS in port mode requires VPWS.
D) They cannot be met, because an intelligent switch is required at the remote branches to enable EoMPLS from site to site.
