L2 tunneling over IP: Which features on Cat6807 w. Sup2T/Cat6880 do support this?

Hi,

does anybody know how I can run point-to-point and point-to-multipoint l2 tunnels over an ip backbone based on Cat68K without MPLS?

Afaik L2TP isn't supported.

I found some information about "Layer 2 over Multipoint GRE" but I cannot estimate if that's a recommended solution because the documentation is quite brief (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/15-1SY/config_guide/sup2T/15_1_sy_swcg_2T/L2omGRE.html).

 

Best Regards,

Thorsten Steffen

Hi,

If you are using Sup-2T, it supports VPLS. You can use it to create a point-to-multipoint l2 tunnel.

Have a look at this doc for more info:

I know but doesn't VPLS need MPLS?

We're looking for a feature which works without MPLS, like L2TPv3.
