Subnet to use remote gateway

[Mokhalil82]

Hi

Can I get a subnet to use a remote gateway. So users on a subnet at R1 uses R3 as its gateway

R1---------------R2---------------R3

Or is it a matter of using PBR on R1 to set R3 as the traffics next hop. 

Thanks

I think this follows on from your other question which I was just looking at.

PBR is probably your best bet here to be honest.

VRF's are useful here but it would mean changing the link between the routers to use subinterfaces and your link may not support that.

There are technologies like L2TPv3 that allow you to extend a vlan across L3 links but to be honest I think it would be worth more trouble than it is worth and it may not work anyway.

So for a temporary solution I would just use PBR for the specific test vlans and redirect their traffic.

Thanks Jon

Just thought Id clarify incase there was a very simple solution that I may be missing.
