The new TCCP links will be provisioned with additional VLAN\u2019s specifically for this connectivity. Existing physical links self-provided or obtained from another provider not related to the TCCP project can be retained as backup between sites if required. For this setup, the college should ensure that sufficient analysis of the design is conducted from a traffic routing perspective to ensure that the backup link can be used as envisaged.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n            <\/div><div class=\"card-wrapper expand\">\n                <div class=\"card-header\">\n                    <a href=\"#expand-54bd968\" class=\"card-header-button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" data-target=\"#expand-54bd968\" aria-controls=\"expand-54bd968\">\n                        <span class=\"title\">Which edge device will be put down at sites?<\/span><div class=\"right-icon-group\">\n                <div class=\"normal-icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/div>\n                <div class=\"active-icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"card-expand\" id=\"expand-54bd968\" style=\"display:block\"><div class=\"card-body\"><p>A Request for Quotes must still be issued.
