Hi to all, a customer asked me a very strange config.
Due to constraint of the Provider, the same switch should act both as PE switch and Edge switch.
I try to make an example.
In a fabulous world we have the customer switch with a port configured as :
interface GigabitEthernet2/x/xx
description TRUNK to sw
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 3,5,15,41-45,143,145,147-151,155-159,163,165,167
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 175,197-199,201
switchport mode trunk
udld port
channel-group 99 mode desirable
and the provider switch configured as :
interface GigabitEthernetx/0/x
description To s
switchport access vlan 794
switchport mode dot1q-tunnel
l2protocol-tunnel cdp
l2protocol-tunnel stp
l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point pagp
l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point udld
no cdp enable
spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
but int this real world, customer asked us to collapse the 2 switches in one switch (that is a cat 6509 with sup 3c in vss mode with 6748-ge-tx card).
Is it possible have the edge config in one port and the tunnel config in another port (may be also in another line card) and connect the 2 ports with a crossover cable ? In your opinion can this config be able to work ?
Many thanks for your help

Wouldn't a simple patch lead accomplish the same thing? AKA, don't use the switch at all, just patch the customers connection directly to the other port in the patch panel?

not possible, cause we need to forward encapsulated vlan over 3 Gig link from 2 different ISP to connect 2 DC...
