Hi there,
We want to merge the networks of 5 offices in 5 countries and 1 datacenter into 1 L2 network.
All Offices have their own internet connection with public IP’s through different ISPs. There is a Mikrotik at each loaction.
How to we accomplish this in the best possible way?
Thx.
Best regards

Extending Layer 2 is complicated and not recommended across countries for data centers. I strongly recommend against this.
Is there a specific reason why each datacenter can’t have a routable subnet assigned to it?
Thank you for your response.
I did not know it was complicated. Why is it not recommended? Instability?
I wanted to simply the sharing of ressources accross the different sites.
I can easily design each contry with a subnet, and route through tunnels.
Watch this podcast (which I am a guest on) and you can listen to us discuss the issues with extending Layer 2
