Layer 2 tunneling

Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control

Hi lartc

LARTC used to be active and useful, lets hope it will get back to that. :)

I will soon get a 1Gb bit leased line between two locations, a remote datacenter and a local office, the documentation specify it as a layer 3 tunnel, but provide no detailed specifications other than speed and qos layout. I was hoping for a layer2 tunnel so LLDP and STP would be tunneled, but this seems unlikely with a layer 3 tunnel.

I got 5 networks at the remote location, each on a separate vlan, I need to be able to access all 5 vlans/networks from the local office, these should of course still be on separate vlans locally.

How do I best approach this?

I got a few ideas:
1. A linux router with layer 2 tunnel and support for STP,LLDP, so switches of the remote and local network discover each other, is this possible with linux?
2. Set up a tunnel for each network individually.

Other ideas are very welcome, I'm a newbie in this area.

Thanx
//Kim
