Ethernet over Public link with Cisco 65XX Series

[caplinktech]

We are transferring some equipment from one datacenter to another and we do not have private line connectivity between them at the current time.

We are hoping to be able to temporarily be able to establish some type of Layer2 connectivity between the facilities to help allow us to spread out the migration into 2 events.  We have Cisco 65XX series switches at the core at both facilities and I am wondering what we might be able to use to make this happen?

EoMPLS is out as we have to be able to extend the layer2 functionality across carrier networks and L2TPv3 is not supported on Cisco 65XX from what I have read / checked on our switches (if there is an IOS version that does support it, please let me know).

I have read a bit about VPLS over GRE but I am not clear on the configuration and/or if it supported as it references MPLS at various points within the documentation that I have read.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Any thoughts / suggestions?

I've absolutely no idea if this would help in your case. 

But anyway, I think 6500 handles DMVPN. May be MPLS over DMVPN would be a solution?

What type of sup do you have in these 6500s?

see table-1 in this link for EoMPLS support for sup-720s

Hi,

We have sup720s and we are aware of their EoMPLS support.  Issue is that we can't use EoMPLS because we need to extend the layer2 connectivity across the general internet/public peering.  As such, we won't be able to configure label switching for MPLS.
