Philip, Here is the best reference I know of to address your issue. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps708/white_paper_c11_493718.html#wp9000281 From: Philip Lavine [mailto:source_route () yahoo com] Sent: Friday, September 14, 2012 6:06 PM To: David Swafford; Paul Vinciguerra Cc: NANOG list Subject: Re: Layer2 over Layer3 If the psuedowire is setup to allow a vlan to be exteneded, but the vlan is already extended over a dedicated link, how will spanning tree behave? Right now I have it setup and I dont see the psuedowire trunk in a blocking state. Will the switch that has both the pseudowire trunk on it and the dedicated link know how to forward the frames if either goes away?

Here's a link to an example setup of two sites where just L3 connectivity exists between them: https://w.ntwk.cc/working-on-atompls/. In that setup, I have just IPSEC VPN connecting the two locations, but have an 802.1q trunk extended between both. In the example configs, Fa0/1 on both ends is a transparent L2 connection. The boxes used here were 3725s on 12.4T. David. On Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 3:37 PM, Paul Vinciguerra <pvinci () vinciconsulting com<mailto:pvinci () vinciconsulting com>> wrote:
ASR supports OTV if you can do multicast over L3. Although, you may not need L2 extensions in the end. -----Original Message----- From: Philip Lavine [mailto:source_route () yahoo com<mailto:source_route () yahoo com>] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2012 6:23 PM To: NANOG list Subject: Layer2 over Layer3 To all, I am trying to extend a layer2 connection over Layer 3 so I can have redundant Layer connectivity between my HQ and colo site. The reason I need this is so I can give the "appeareance" that there is one gateway and that both data centers can share the same Layer3 subnet (which I am announcing via BGP to 2 different vendors). I have 2 ASR's. Will EoMPLS work or is there another option? Philip
