Connect 2 sites with same VLANs and IP addressing

Hi, I need to interconnect 2 sites that currently that uses the same VLANs and same IP addressing.
The goal of this is to set up a DR environment.

Currently both sites are connected via an L2 uplink, but I have the problem that both sites use the same VLANs with the same IPs, and I need to keep in each site those VLANs and IP addresses, but at the same time they are isolated networks and are not within the same broadcast domain (basically I need to reconvert this L2 into an L3).
I would like to know how to configure this. I have read that I can use VXLAN for the VLANID issue, but I do not know if it would be useful or there is another way, and then I imagine that I could send the traffic through a NAT with a new IP range (within a /30 perhaps).

This is the actual scheme.

Thank you very much.

Hello,

VXLAN probably is the better option. Post the running configs of both routers, so we can fill in the bits and pieces.

Hi,

I do not have access to these routers right now, but it is still a very simple configuration.
A single VLAN and network on each side, but which is the same on both sites.

 

Thanks, this looks like it might help me with the network overlapping issue, but how could I solve the problem of having the same VLAN on both sites?

Friend 
same VLAN in two L3 Device (router) is overlapping.
see my above comment if you want to extended L2 over L3. 

if you want to extended L2 over L3 interface then simple way is using Xconnect 

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/layer-two-tunnel-protocol-l2tp/116266-configure-l2-00.html

 

In this case it is the other way around, I have a L2 and I want to convert it into L3 but keeping the same IPs and VLANs in the 2 sites.

 

Yes 

I share with you link for overlap, using same subnet in both routers.

I share with you link for extended, 

Check which solution you prefer.
