Firstly, YES, I've kind of asked this before, but with the different ways people do and understand things all over the world, I've not had a response that actually works.
So.. Simply. I have, lets just say 2 (two) routers and or switches (3560, etc with VRF support). I want to, at a layer 2 level, link a vrf on one router/switch to another. What I am meaning here is. If I type 'show ip arp vrf BLAH' on one device, I want to see the ARP for devices connected into the VRF on the other router. I don't particularly want to use tunnels due to MTU issues. A VLAN with an SVI on a switch and a sub-e on a router work fine, but only if I have a full layer2 switched path all the way. In some cases I do not. An example would be when we use another carrier to link two cities and they have an MPLS cloud in the middle. I want to link a VRF to another VRF on each side of the cloud. I am not sure if what I want to do makes sense.. Some people just suggest MPLS, but it seems like an over complex solution if we're talking about 2-3 routers/switches. If I am not being clear about something, please feel free to ask me for more info. -- Skeeve Stevens, RHCE [email protected] / www.skeeve.org Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 / skype://skeeve eintellego - [email protected] - www.eintellego.net -- I'm a groove licked love child king of the verse Si vis pacem, para bellum _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
