Hello,
Is there a way or simple solution to terminate a bunch of "plain" L2TPv3 pseudowires to a BVI, to have a sort of VPLS? (VPLS/MPLS is not an option in my setup).
My deal is to have a distributed L2 architecture (I have a protocol that works only on L2), and it must traverse a non-ethernet IP based network. (traffic is quite low - max 1 mbps)
It can easily done with a simple linux box, terminating l2tpv3 tunnels to a bridge interface, but I would like to do that on a cisco device.
A very dirty solution can be to have a set of sub-interfaces (with xconnect) and a cable to another interface on the same router, having sub-interfaces terminated on a BVI.
Something like that:
GigaEthernet 0/0 is cabled to GigaEthernet 0/1
interface Giga 0/0.1301
encap dot1q 1301
xconnect 10.10.13.1 1301 pw-class pw1301
interface gig 0/0.1302
encap dot1q 1302
xconnect 10.10.13.2 1302 pw-class pw1302
interface gig 0/1.1301
encap dot1q 1301
bridge-group 1
interface gig 0/1.1302
encap dot1q 1302
bridge-group 1
bridge 1 protocol ieee
bridge 1 route ip
interface BVI 1
ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0
Is there a simple way to accomplish that?
thanks in advance,
stefano
