Best way to connect 2 locations

Wed Oct 20, 2010 11:34 am

Hello everbody,

I have 2 locations that i want to connect so that i keep some servers & stations on location 1 and some server&stations on location 2.
I want everybody to see each other like they would if they where linked to the same switch.
Station/server from location 1 sould be able to get ip from dhcp server in location 2, etc...

Each location has 2 fiber optic uplinks.
I'd like that the connection between teh 2 sites to be secured.

What should i begin to study, usign Mikrotik devices (2 450g or 2 vm's)?

Thanks.

If you want them to be in one broadcast domain then create EoIP tunnel between routers and bridge eoip with local interface

And if you need security you want to look at running the EoIP tunnels through IPSec.

That's a very common solution on gear from all kinds of vendors (being equivalent to GRE over IPSec).
