802.1Q Tagging Over SONET

[a-guvener]

Hi there,

I have two Catalyst 6500 switch with sup2/msfc2 with IOS 12.1.20E Enterprise W/VIP and a PA-POS-OC3SMI card on a FlexWAN module.

We have two sites which are connected over OC3-SONET. Both sites have multiple VLANs and inter-VLAN routing.

Is there any way to configure OC3-SONET like a 802.1Q trunk and transmit 802.1q-tagged packets over OC3-SONET.

I thought, I can use Bridging Control Protocol (BCP), but I could not enable BCP on the POS interface.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks

Alper

is your sonet private line or some sort of metro ethernet services ? Heres a link to creating an 802.1q tunnel. It might help
