VLAN Transport over a "Layer 3 only" Link

ingoh · ‎03-04-2009

Hi,

does anybody have a idea how we can "tunnel" one VLAN (only one) from one c65 to another c65 that are only connected by a layer 3 link (access port on both sides).

thx

Have a look at this recent thread -

If your 6500 IOS supports it i would go with L2TPv3

Hi,

Sounds like you will need to use a pseudowire over MPLS. Check this document

You will need to enable LDP between your switches and then use the xconnect command to create the tunnel.
