Hi,
Can someone shed some light on the following limitation of EoMPLS?
Layer 2 connection restrictions:
- You cannot have a direct Layer 2 connection between provider-edge routers
with EoMPLS
Why is this?
I have a MAN running MPLS where my PE are directly connected. I need to do
extend my datacenter LANs from location A to location B. I was thinking of
using EoMPLS but this limitation is bothering me because I don't understand
this limitation.
Anyone care to explain?
Topology as under:
CE--(trunk)dot1q(tunnel)-->PE--MPLS--PE--tunnel(dot1q)trunk-->CE
| |
MPLS MPLS
| |
CE--(trunk)dot1q(tunnel)-->PE--MPLS--PE--tunnel(dot1q)trunk-->CE
The CE on the right hand side are under my control and there is another
cascaded CE device behind which the data center resides. So I could convert the
CE to a PE to resolve this.
Any suggestions are welcome
