hello philip,
for ethernet over mpls you can use gre tunnel and run mpls over that
tunnel or you can go directly for l2tpv3 which give you the ability to
run l2vpn over l3 ip routing with no need for mpls.

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
