Layer 2 data center interconnect - cat 9k

Hi All

Can anyone tell me what options we have if we want to have layer 2 dci between 2 datacentres when using the Catalyst 9K switches?

Cheers

Question here is - is this DARK Fibre ? Layer 2 delivery from Provider ? then you can use Cat 9K or Nexus 9K (part of DCI)

If they are MPLS - then you need to run OTV (Prefered - other also give option to extend VLAN) between DC to Extend VLAN.

So you need to provide some more information or high level diagram for us to understand the requirement.

Hi There

I need options for both please.

We have sites with dark fiber and also layer 3 between them so I need to look at both.

These need to be specific to the Cat 9K series pls, for example can we do OTV in 9K ?

cheers
