I am attempting to setup a site to site L2TP or simple Layer2 “same LAN” connection between two Mikrotik RB2011s that have been factory reset with a basic startup config.
The process that I am following is to create mirrored EoIP tunnels at each site with an IPSec secret.
Once established I attempt to add those EoIP interfaces to the local Bridge at each site.
In theory this should be all I need to do, correct? Or am I missing something?
Yes that would work… you could also use BCP instead of EoIP…
Ok, so what are some reasons it woulndt work?
I see the EoIP established. However, I am unable to ping the LAN on the other side (keeping in mind that it’s the same subnet on both sides)
Router 1 <==========> Router2
192.168.168.52/24 <----------------> 192.168.168.51/24
Is EoIP added inside the Bridge of each router?
If you’re asking if I added the EoIP interface to the local bridge on both sides, then yes.
