Hi,

If WAN is layer-2, you can then simply trunk the ports on each side and use the same vlas in both locations.

Here is an example you can use for both sides:

iinterface Ethernet1/10
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan xx-xx,xx,xx-xx

Hi Reza,

Thanks for your reply. This is pretty cool solution. Even I had a same thought, but I just have a small doubt here is, how my data will be safe? Is that any encryption I have to configure?

Thanks,

Priyanka

Hi Reza,

I am waiting for your responses. Could please help me to understand if there is any encryption has to be configured for sending the traffic over L2 link via trunk?

Thanks
