EVC
Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC) model is New CLI framework for configuring Ethernet Interfaces. Current configuration models are also supported for existing features, but all New Flexible Ethernet Edge Features like Selective QinQ and Double tag Translations will only be supported using EVC EVC is supported on Cisco7600 in 12.2(33)SRB release. EVC is support on ES20 line cards and SIP-400 line cards with V2 GE SPA SIP-600 with or without V2 SPA doesnt support EVC

Encapsulation Rewrite CLI - Symmetric

Encapsulation rewrite should be always symmetric, meaning whatever rewrite on ingress direction should have the reverse rewrite on the egress direction for the same interface, same EFP For example, if it remove outer vlan tag on ingress, then it need to add the original vlan tag back on the egress direction. As the result, it always need two lines of rewrite configuration, one for rewrite ingress, the other for rewrite egress To make configuration simple and avoid misconfiguration, keyword symmetric is used mandatory, and rewrite egress CLI is blocked on purpose. Valid configuration Invalid configuration
