Ethernet subinterfaces over metro Ethernet

cbregeripr

I curently have 2 Data centers connected with a Metro Ethernet Connection.  Each Data Center has 6500 with Sup720s.  The Metro Ethernet connection is currently conected by a L3 routed interface.  I now need to enable VRFs between the locations and want to determine the best way to adjust the Mero.  I was considering adjusting the routed interface to use Ethernet sub-interfaces.  Each VRF would be given a different subinterface over the Metro Ethernet connection.  I have done this on internal LAN connections but am concerned about exteding across data centers over Metro E.  Any suggegestions or issues you can think of or better solutions would be appreacited.

Thanks,

Chris

VRF Lite with sub-interfaces should work just fine.  Keep the name of each VRF the same across all devices.  Use the same RT across all devices but different RD per device.
