Extend VLAN across a ethernet extension ciruit

[craig.a.smith]

I need to extend a vlan on a core switch to another site. The 6500 connects to 3800 router which has p2p connect into another 3800 router - i'm struggling with what options are avialable...

hello Craig,

you can consider L2TPv3 vlan based if the link is a WAN link

see

vlan based

you can have L3 routed subinterfaces and subinterfaces that are used for L2 transport.

Clearly the performance limitations are those of the two C3800.

Hope to help

Giuseppe
