Leased line setup and equipment scenarios
Circuit types & options
Leased line circuits come in the following variants
This table details the leased line product variants and the options available for each.
| Product | What equipment is provided? | What additional equipment does the client require? | Bearer Speeds | Circuit Speed | Backup Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Managed fibre leased line without a backup connection | Adva optical router Managed Cisco router |
Router or firewall device | 1 Gbps | 10 Mbps - 1Gbps | |
| Managed fibre leased line with a backup connection | Adva optical router Managed Cisco router |
Router or firewall device | 1 Gbps | 10 Mbps - 1Gbps | SoGEA FTTP |
| Managed ethernet leased line without a backup connection | Adva optical router Managed Cisco router |
Router or firewall device | 100 Mbps | 10 Mbps - 100 Mbps | |
| Managed ethernet leased line with a backup connection | Adva optical router Managed Cisco router |
Router or firewall device | 100 Mbps | 10 Mbps - 100 Mbps | SoGEA FTTP |
| Managed leased line with backup ethernet leased line. | Adva optical router Managed Cisco router |
Router or firewall device | 100Mbps & 1 Gbps | 10 Mbps - 1Gbps | 2nd leased line |
| Managed leased line with diverse backup ethernet leased line. | Adva optical router Managed Cisco router |
Router or firewall device | 100Mbps & 1 Gbps | 10 Mbps - 1Gbps | 2nd leased line |
| Wires only ethernet leased line | Adva optical router | Router or firewall device | 100Mbps | 10 Mbps - 100 Mbps | |
| Wires only fibre leased line | Adva optical router | Router or firewall device | 100Mbps & 1 Gbps | 10 Mbps - 1Gbps |
Circuit termination
Knowing what type of termination presentation will be used for your leased line is essential. Here are the termination types used.
| Bearer | Termination | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 100Mbps | Ethernet (Copper) | Ethernet RJ45 |
| 1Gbps | Fibre (Default) Ethernet (Copper)* |
Fibre: Single Mode LC Ethernet RJ45 |
When you place your order, you'll need to request delivery via ethernet on a 1Gbps bearer. Once an order has been placed, it cannot be changed retrospectively.

Network setup examples
Each leased line product variant comes standard with eight IP addresses. The diagrams below show the circuit's delivery in managed and wires-only scenarios.
Network Layout - Managed circuit with FTTP backup
In this scenario, the assigned IP addresses are as follows;
| Customer IP Assignment | 5.55.2.32/29 |
|---|---|
| First usable IP | 5.55.2.33 |
| Last usable IP | 5.55.2.37 |
| Gateway | 5.55.2.38 |
| Subnet mask | 255.255.255.248 |
| WAN IP | 5.55.2.33 |
| LAN | 192.168.0.254/24 |
The last IP of the usable range is assigned to the managed Cisco router and is used as the network gateway for the range.
Network Layout - Wires only
In this scenario, the assigned IP addressing is as follows;
| Customer IP Assignment | 58.57.32.38/29 |
|---|---|
| First usable IP | 58.57.32.33 |
| Last usable IP | 58.57.32.38 |
| Subnet mask | 255.255.255.248 |
| WAN IP | 8.9.128.130/30 |
| WAN gateway | 8.9.128.129 |
| WAN Subnet Mask | 255.255.255.252 |
| LAN | 192.168.0.254/24 |
| DMZ | 58.57.32.38/29 or any of the customer ip assignment |
