VLAN bridging over GRE tunneling
in [Cisco]
|
From: Xavier Veral on 14 Jan 2008 06:51 Hi! Is it possible to use a GRE tunnel to connect 2 switches in diferent locations with the same vlan? basically, the scenario is a 2 locations; both with a switch and the same vlan. I need one computer from the first location to access the a vlan on the second location. I was thinking on dot1q tunneling but im not really sure and never done this before thanks! Xavi
From: Bartosz Gagat on 14 Jan 2008 10:49 I think that GRE is not enaught. On Cisco you can use pseudo wire technique (L2 Tunnelig protocol see: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk364/technologies_configuration_example09186a00801f66fa.shtml) Regards Bartosz Gagat "Xavier Veral" <xaviveral(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:db9ac6cb-cecf-4ede-8202-c53a212429d5(a)v29g2000hsf.googlegroups.com... > Hi! > > Is it possible to use a GRE tunnel to connect 2 switches in diferent > locations with the same vlan? > > basically, the scenario is a 2 locations; both with a switch and the > same vlan.

Why you need GRE tunneling in this scenerio. May be i am not clear about the asked question. Rgds....CK

Presumably the two locations that the OP is connecting with a GRE tunnel aren't linked together with a protocol that supports VLANs natively. -- <http://ale.cx/> (AIM:troffasky) (UnSoEsNpEaTm(a)ale.cx) 08:40:39 up 9 days, 23:05, 2 users, load average: 1.11, 1.09, 1.14 2x Broadband/IT/Telecoms support positions in Newcastle city centre.

No agencies. yes, exactly thats the case; i have both offices linked using encrypted gre tunneling (vti interface) and need to access on vlan on office 1 from office 2. I need to make something like, lets say a subinterface on the tunel that connects both switches and vlan. Im not sure if i explain the idea correctly :-) thanks |
