Hello all,
I have the following situation. I have 2 locations connected as described in the attached image, via a 2Mbps leased line. Both routers are connected each to a switch (non-cisco at the moment) and I have a server attached to those switches, one in each location.
My problem is that the servers have to be in the same vlan. How would I go about configuring that ? How do I transport VLAN information across the leased line ? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Stefan

Please follow the link that I pasted above. There is not virtual BVI interface on your routers. Please configure an BVI interface on both the routers.

You Can achieve it using IRB.Please see the document below for more info on it.

HTH,Please rate if it does.

Thank you for the link. So basically I create a BVI interface and assign the Serial0/0 to the bridge group. Then create dot1q ethernet subinterfaces for the trunking to the switches. Does that make sense? Could you possibly post a sample configuration ?
Thanks,
Stefan

Some follow up on this issue. On both routers, I put the ethernet and serial interfaces in the same bridge group and I believe the bridging works fine now. If I do debugging on STP, I see topologies changes, events and so on. However, nothing else works. ARP requests wont get through for example. I can't reach IPs from the other side also. Here's the config I have now:
Router 1
--------
bridge irb
interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address 172.16.3.34 255.255.255.0
bridge-group 2
interface Serial0/0
bandwidth 2048
ip address 192.168.10.5 255.255.255.0
bridge-group 2
bridge 2 protocol ieee
bridge 2 route ip
Router 2
--------
bridge irb
interface Ethernet0/0
ip address 172.31.3.250 255.255.255.0
bridge-group 2
interface Serial0/0
bandwidth 2048
ip address 192.168.10.6 255.255.255.0
bridge-group 2
bridge 2 protocol ieee
bridge 2 route ip
router1#show bridge
Total of 300 station blocks, 298 free
Codes: P - permanent, S - self
Bridge Group 2:

0000.d1ef.4a44 forward FastEthernet0/0 0 253 0
0009.3d13.5c77 forward FastEthernet0/0 0 661 0
router1#show bridge group
Bridge Group 2 is running the IEEE compatible Spanning Tree protocol
Port 4 (FastEthernet0/0) of bridge group 2 is forwarding
Port 6 (Serial0/0) of bridge group 2 is forwarding
router2#show bridge
Total of 300 station blocks, 299 free
Codes: P - permanent, S - self
Bridge Group 2:
Address Action Interface Age RX count TX count

router2#show bridge group
Bridge Group 2 is running the IEEE compatible Spanning Tree protocol
Port 2 (Ethernet0/0) of bridge group 2 is forwarding
Port 6 (Serial0/0) of bridge group 2 is forwarding
Any ideas ?

Just wanted to follow up on this. The problem was finally solved. Here is the config that i have now on both routers:
bridge irb
interface Ethernet0/0
no ip address
half-duplex
bridge-group 1
!
interface Serial0/0
bandwidth 2048
bridge-group 1
interface BVI1
ip address 172.16.3.40 255.255.255.0
bridge 1 protocol ieee
bridge 1 route ip
Thanks Asingh2.
