Hey Philip, Any Transport over MPLS will do this too. Here's a link to an example setup of two sites where just L3 connectivity exists between them: https://w.ntwk.cc/working-on-atompls/. In that setup, I have just IPSEC VPN connecting the two locations, but have an 802.1q trunk extended between both. In the example configs, Fa0/1 on both ends is a transparent L2 connection. The boxes used here were 3725s on 12.4T. David. On Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 3:37 PM, Paul Vinciguerra <pvinci@vinciconsulting.com> wrote:
ASR supports OTV if you can do multicast over L3. Although, you may not need L2 extensions in the end.

To all,
I am trying to extend a layer2 connection over Layer 3 so I can have redundant Layer connectivity between my HQ and colo site. The reason I need this is so I can give the "appeareance" that there is one gateway and that both data centers can share the same Layer3 subnet (which I am announcing via BGP to 2 different vendors).
I have 2 ASR's. Will EoMPLS work or is there another option?
