In the context of VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service) configuration, the engineer should perform additional configurations to enable the virtual switch instance. The correct answer is Option A, which likely involves configuring interface VLAN and associating it with xconnect vfi to establish end-to-end LAN connectivity between customer’s remote offices. This is essential for enabling VPLS, which allows geographically dispersed sites to be connected over a service provider’s network as if they were on the same local area network.
