If you need to run a Layer 2 circuit over a Layer 3 network, you can set up an L2TP tunnel. It can be applied to a variety of interfaces:
- VLAN interfaces on L3 switches, allowing it to provide access to all ports on a VLAN
- subinterfaces on routed interfaces on routers, allowing you to constrain it to a particular VLAN
- an entire routed interface on a router, allowing you to trunk VLANs through it.
Configuration
This needs to be applied to both ends of the connection. The xconnect statement must point to the loopback interface on the remote router.
