About This Guide
This Calix E7, E3-48, E5-48 and E5-48C Ethernet service access platforms leverage VDSL2
and ADSL2+ technology, along with an Ethernet switching fabric, to perform L2
aggregation / switching and layer-3-aware service delivery.
The Calix topics in this guide describe how to configure VDSL2-based services for the
following platforms:
E7-2 in stand-alone and modular chassis configurations
E5-48, E5-48C and E3-48C in stand-alone configurations
Note:
Calix E7-20 products do not support VDSL2-based cards or services.

the VDSL2 line cards.
For specific procedures on provisioning Ethernet elements, such as VLANs, Ethernet ports
