Can I do this , bridging DC together

Wed Apr 27, 2022 3:56 am

Hi
I'm interested in this CCR2216, 100G is of interest. My over all goal is to bridge to DC's together sort of what I am doing right now with direct 10G SFP's.

Lets say i have

arista sw at DC1 (asdc1) and arista sw at dc2 (asdc2)

asdc1
port channel made up of these 2 ports
eth5
eth6

portchannel 1
vlan 1-100


asdc2
port channel made up of these 2 ports
eth5
eth6

portchannel 1
vlan 1-100


I have 2 10G SFP connected in eth5 on both asdc1 and asdc2 and 2 10G SFP in eth6


So I can create a LACP connection from DC1 to DC2. using 2 fibre runs and trunking vlan's 1-100 on them.

What I would like to do is buy 4 ccr2216 ..


eth5 (asdc1) -> eth12 ccr2216 (MK1dc1) eth1 <==100G==> eth1 ccr2216 (MK1dc2) eth12 -> eth5 (asdc2)
eth6 (asdc1) -> eth12 ccr2216 (MK2dc1) eth1 <==100G==> eth1 ccr2216 (MK2dc2) eth12 -> eth5 (asdc2)


I want any packet that turns up at eth12 on CCR2216 (MK1dc1) to be forwarded to (MK1dc2) eth12 .. effectively the same as just having a cable there. so it should encapsulate the vlan frame into a new vlan frame.

I'm thinking its possible, also i want to complicate it by adding another node

so I will have ring of 100G connected sites and I want to link 1 port on a MK to another port on a MK in another location. and because I have a ring , i have multipaths between sites.

Thanks

As is the case usually find stuff after posting.

Thinking this might be the answer

Its old 2015. Wondering if its still applicable
or if any one is using it and what if any is the feedback

No, you appear to have private layer 2 links so the complications which arise from encapsulating ethernet (layer 2) in IP (layer 3) can be avoided, it is also out of date inasmuch that EoIP can optionally use IPsec (previously it couldn't so sometimes nested tunnels were used to overcome this limitation).

If you are only bridging the rather than routing the new CRS504 may be a better choice.
