Nexus OTV

[darrenriley5]

Hi,

Just wondered if someone confirm if I could do the following using Nexus OTV. We have two data centres which are connected using vlans which span across both data centres. What it be possible to use OTV so I could segment the 2 data centres using a layer 3 link to limit the risks of a layer 2 problem from wiping out both data centres?

Many Thanks

Darren

Hi Darren

Yes, this is the purpose of OTV.  The technology includes loop prevention and flooding supression.

Please see blow link for some useful information on the technology.
