Cisco WAN :: L2TPv3 Vs DLSW Usage For Bridging VLANs
Jul 11, 2011
I'm currently using DLSW to bridge a VLAN to a remote site and it works fine. I've been reading up on L2TPv3 and now I'm wondering if one is better than the other for my purposes (my hardware will support both), especially if multiple VLANS are being bridge to the remote site. We do not have an MPLS infrastructure, so that's not an option.
I have a 3 building client currently on a single LAN/subnet/VLAN1. The client wants to install two public APs in their other buildings. I have selected the Cisco WAP4410n for a few reasons, Price, as budget is a factor for them, the 4410n can have up to 4 SSIDs, and can accommodate different VLANs, and it is PoE.
The public side is to have no access to the LAN, just the internet.According to the documents I have read on the 4410, I am to create two SSIDs, one not broadcasted (VLAN1) and one that is broadcasted and public (VLAN2) Both SSIDs would be Isolated from each other.
I assign the switch port attached to the AP to VLAN2, but cannot access the internet. I believe that the two VLANs need to be bridged in either a L3 switch or a router, is this correct? Is that the only way I will be able to get internet access in this situation?A while back someone posted a link to a Cisco workshop. It was set in a spaceship, and the student, me, had to get internet access to different parts of the ship by installing different APs and antennas. Also had to give the people and aliens on the ship different levels of access.
I'm trying to bridge two buildings with two WAP200E. The connectivity is fine, but I'm only able to get one VLAN through the bridge. That is the default VLAN 1 wich is untagged. I have two additional VLANs wich is tagged. I can not get these two through the bridge. I have set up a single SSID, and enabled VLAN. I have also tried to set up more than one SSID, mapping each VLAN to separate SSID's, but bridging several SSID's between two AP's make the AP's loose connectivity periodically. What would be the propper way of bridging several VLANs between two WAP200E ?
We have a pair of 1310's (running 12.3(8)JEA3) connecting 2 buildings together. The wired side of each AP is connected to switchports configured as access ports.
But, now we need to extend multiple VLANs across the wireless bridge. So I'm thinking I just need to configure some sub-interfaces on the radio side and ethernet side and bridge them together. But I'm unclear on if I need an SSID for each bridge group. I would hope not. But after reading this, I'm not sure. Most of the documentation seems to be dealing with wireless clients. Well, in this case I don't have any wireless clients and just need to extend VLANs.
These 2 sites are hundreds of miles away from where I am, and I don't have any 1310's to test this out on. Should I be able to load similar software on other AP's (like 1142's) and have them function as bridges to test this out?
We have a customer that is relocating thier headquarters. They have a temporary requirement to bridge multiple vlans or a router T3 link to the new location as they cannot change the IP subnets. Setup is 3560 switch connecting to a 3845 then T3 to remote 3845 and 3560. I need to bridge multiple VLANs. I have seen a good example on how to do it over sonet but I don't see how to translate that to an HDLC or Frame Relay encapsulation for the T3 Link.
Customer has a pair of Cisco 3745 configured with DLSW+...He is in a technological migration phase so he needs to migrate to new cisco platforms.How can I find out which cisco products (switches, routers) support DLSW+ to replace the 3745s?
however recently when i check my internet usage log on my wireless company (Rogers) the usage is totally off from what my bandwidth tracker shows me. So i decide to turn off my wifi and see what happens, there has always been this weird wifi connection appearing whenever my wifi appears, then afterwards when i turn off my wifi the suspicious wifi connections disappear. is this possible that someone is using our wifi? i might just be overreacting but it has brought me to concern that if the usage continues my family will have to end up paying over $30 for extra internet use. it is very frustrating me because when i check my DHCP client table it only shows 3 connection, ethernet - my desktop which is not turned on, 2 wireless connection - my laptop and my sister's laptop.
I have 2921 with SEC feature set ( version 15.0(1)M4 ) and want to configure l2tp tunnel, LAC to LAC scenario. It does't have pseudowire-class command. Does it require another license or commands ?
I was found the different IOS support L2TPV3 tunnel ID, like 12.2(33)SRE is support 32bit, 12.4(15)T is support 16bit.so the 12.2(33)SRE can't xconnect/l2tpv3 to 12.4(15)T.
I found the 12.2(33)SRE Local Tunnel ID is over 65535, how about reduce it less 65535? or some other suggest to xconnect/l2tpv3 on different IOS?bcoz using same IOS series is normal. like 12.4T and 12.4T / 12.2SRE and 12.2SRE
some result is following.

I'm looking to build (cheaply) some l2tpv3 tunnels across a campus network. I have a pair of 881's and I was hoping to xconnect the VLAN 1 intfcs between the two of them. "xconnect" is not a CLI option on the interface configuration, although it is for the individual Fa0-3 interfaces. Just for grins, I xconnected the l2tpv3 tunnel between each Fa3 on each router, and the tunnel comes up successfully and I can see a session established. I am routing between the WAN interfaces (Fa4) on each. However, L2 traffic is not passing between the two Fa3 interfaces. I can do it backwards, i.e. route between the Vlan1 interfaces and xconnect the Fa4 interfaces (i.e. WAN), and I can see broadcast traffic from the destination network appearing on the local interface. However, I'd really rather have the four interfaces in VLAN1 tunnelled rather than the WAN interface. I am guessing this has to do with ISL vs. 802.1q, since I'm trying to encapsulate VLAN1 as Ethernet and not as dot1q.
I have a subnet (vlan 104) working great across a WAN. At site 1, Router A (3745) has the L2TPv3 tunnel configured while Router B (7204) has a routed interface on vlan 104.
The only thing router A is doing is the tunnel, so I'd like put the tunnel on Router B and eliminate Router A.
The trouble is, when I move the configs to Router B, the tunnel comes up, but the far side does not receive traffic over the tunnel.
Router B shows sending and receiving packets (per the 'sh l2tun session all' command). The far end router shows sending packets but receiving 0.
Is it a problem to have both the vlan 104's L2TPv3 xconnect interface and the vlan 104's routed inteface on the SAME router?
come to a bit of a block in the road on a network im building ,all is going well except i need to build a pseudowire to backup our primary L2 circuit, I labbed this with some 3745's but the kit we are using is the 1921, with the universal image how do i go about upgrading functionality to allow this [code]
Assuming I have the following setup: Cisco 7604 Cisco Systems Cisco 7600 4-slot Chassis System OSR-7600 Clock FRU 1 & 2WS-F6K-MSFC2A Cat6k MSFC 2A daughterboard Rev. 4.0 WS-F6K-PFC3B Policy Feature Card 3 Rev. 2.4 WS-SUP32-GE-3B 9 ports Supervisor Engine 32 8GE Rev. 4.6 WS-X6148A-GE-TX 48-port 10/100/1000 RJ45 EtherModule Rev. 4.1WS-X6548-GE-TX SFM-capable 48 port 10/100/1000mb RJ45 Rev. 11.3 The SUP32-3c says it supports both L2VPN and L2TPv3, however the line cards are effectively 6500 line cards and I was under the impression the 6500 didn't support these.
If the supervisor supports a feature does that mean it is globally supported on a switch? Or do I need to check the compatibility of these line cards as to if they support these features?
WE have to deploy ASA5585 in between User vlans & server vlans. we have to find all the ports that needs to be opened on firewall. any tools to do same.
i have a 7201 router with NPE-G2. i have a design which i have the option to send all the traffic through a GRE tunnel or a L2TPV3 tunnel.which method is more CPU consumption ?
I am trying to setup a L2tpv3 VLAN-to-VLAN tunnel.My setup has two Cisco 890 router with Cisco IOS Software version 15.0(1) M4. These routers are connected directly on FastEthernet port 8.
One linux machine is connected on FastEthernet port 0 on each router. The two linux machines are on same vlan. I am trying to establish a vlan-to-vlan tunnel between the routers and send traffic between the linux machines.
I followed the case study 11.4 from [URL] and configured the l2tp-class and pseudowire-class. However, the vlan interface configuration is different on 890 router.
I have Cisco router ASR 1002-F on which I have created two subinterface, Gigabitethernet 0/0/1.333 and Gigabitethernet 0/0/2.111. I try to bridge those two subinterface but no success. I can create bridg-group and everything needed but I can not add subinterface to specific bridge-group. If I try write command bridge-group on subinterface there is not even possible to chose this command.
I am having two connections in same pc 1 via lan and other via 3g(dailing method). I want to combine bandwidth of two connections. As windows 7 has no option for it,is there anyway todo it directly or indirectly.
I have a computer with special software, customer abroad has a Laptop and connect multimedia center via etherner port to this laptop, I want to connect directly to customers ethernet port so I can program that multimedia center using a software in my PC. I know the ip address of multimedia center, but I cannot ping to it then I use hamachi port bridging.
My current project is to have a printer that actually works. You don't need one often, but when you do you really need one. I'd like the printer to be wireless as we all use laptops but don't want to have the printer near the router.
The simple solution is to shell out for a wireless printer, but I have access to a cheap (and good) ethernet only printer. Now, how to connect it? I have a spare old router, which I'm thinking of connecting to the printer. I'd then have to get the router to join the network (is that possible?) or somehow bridge them. The to devices to join would be this and this.
I have a quick question to ask regarding bridging two NIC/LAN ports on my home server to two LAN ports on a single gigabit router. Is this possible? Will the router have any trouble determining IP addresses? If so, is a certain router required for this to work that I am unaware of? I'm run a google search for any info on this subject but this particular question doesn't seem to have been asked that I'm able to find.
I'm essentially looking to increase any bandwidth throughput if possible for content streaming on my home network.
My new ADSL line is now enabled, I can finally use my Netgear DM111Pv2 to use to the Internet. My ISP has told me a big surprise : I don't need to use a login and a password to connect to the Internet, then I must use the RFC 2684 bridging mode.
It works pretty fine on the ADSL modem's side, but I've spent one night trying to figure out how to connect to the Internet through this modem. I only have a Fonera 2.0n and a computer running Gentoo Linux.I've been trying to use the br2684ctl utility with brctl on my Gentoo, first I've configured my kernel in that way: [code] The brctl utility keeps telling me "Invalid argument" each time I try to add the nas0 interface into my bridge, I'm honestly hoping I'm doing wrong.
I've been following this README carefully and this tutorial on setting up a PPPoE connection with Gentoo, but the PPPoE interface just tries to start, and nothing special related to PPP happens, I can't see the interface when I do ifconfig.So, I'm asking you if there's something huge I've been missing since the beginning ! Maybe I should wait to buy a new router fully supporting the RFC2684 bridging mode, but I'm more interested in setting up this mode on my Fonera 2.0n and even my Raspberry Pi !
Today I want to build a wireless bridge using AIR-AP1131AG (running WLC) and TP-LINK wireless router. The result is failed. May I know AIR-AP1131AG is support bridging the wireless connection with other vendor's access point or not?
In the TP-Link I already match its SSID, Channel and put the mac-address of the AIR-AP1131AG. In the WLC I already see too TP-LINK mac-address is already become a client.
I have a redundant Cisco EPC2425 that I want to use as a wireless bridge to connect to my current home router (an EPC3925).
I have got the channels/band/keys matching yet the 2425 is failing to connect to my home router. I have set the 2425 in bridge mode and currently can only set the wireless properties.
I have both ends of the supposed bridge referencing the other's MAC.
When I try to enter advanced settings on the 2425 I get a notice that the function has not been enabled.
What can I try to get these two boxes talking to each other?
I have a new 5510 which I have upgraded to 8.4(3). I have a /29 subnet from the telco on my outside interface. I have 6 subinterfaces on a dot1Q trunk on my inside interface. The customer requirement is to have two servers in a DMZ which have public IP's from the /29 subnet. The customer will not give the servers a new IP address so we are stuck with the two public IPs in the DMZ. I thought I would need a bridge group and bridge the outside, two DMZ interfaces but I read that bridging requires the firewall to be in transparent mode and then it won't support VPNs - this is not an option as I need to terminate VPNs on the box too.
how can I accommodate the two servers in the DMZ with public IPs whilst the ASA is in routed mode ?
I currently work as a business analyst for a national sales team. I essentially work off of my own server, and just use remote instances to access the database. I am having trouble accessing the internet with the server all I have is intranet(local) access.Since my notebook(with working internet access) is on the same network as my server I feel like I should be able to bridge the network connection on my notebook to work within the server, so I can run updates.
I had a Sony Viao with Windows Vista for some years and I managed to create a bridge using the Sony Viao laptop and my o2 usb modem. That was some time ago and now I have a new laptop with Windows 7 ?I have to mention that I do not have wireless connections. I have an o2 modem and an ethernet cable. They are the only two connections that show up in my internet connections. The LAN connection has an image of a ethernet cable connection while the o2 connection has an image of a phone.whenever I watch youtube walk throughs it never looks like my set up. Ive tried everything over and over. Turning off UAC, turning on sharing but nothing has worked yet. When I just select the LAN connection and right click there is an option to Bridge. When I right click the o2 connection its not there. When I select both the option isnt there either.
Network 1: Transparent EOC connection to Internet. Directly behind the EOC box is a router using a static (WAN) address provided from our ISP. Internally, the router uses DHCP (LAN) to manage a 192.168.1.x network. All computers on this network are using 192.168.1.x addresses via DHCP from that router - (rather, they should be). We use this for Internet access, office computers, a POS server and our POS systems. Mostly windows xp and some win 7 systems. Server is Windows 2008 server, but is not controlling DHCP nor a domain. It's just a Win 2008 computer on the network running as a "virtual box" on a VMware-based server.
Network 2: Comes in on a separate DSL line. This DSL modem is set up as a bridge. The router behind the bridge is using a static IP block (8 static IP addresses, 5 usable) from our ISP. Internally, this router uses DHCP (LAN) to manage a 175.69.10.x network (or some address similar to that). All machines on this network are using 175.69.10.x addresses via DHCP from the 2nd router. There is external VPN access to this network via one of the static IP addresses. This is routed correctly. This is Primarily a Linux network controlling several linux based machines. So, someone decided to "bridge" these two networks by simply plugging each network into the same central switch via Cat 5 cable.
The first problem we had (of course) was that the DHCP servers conflicted immediately, so we had to set half of this "mongrel" network to static IPs like 192.168.1.x, and the other computers are getting their addresses via DHCP from the 176.68.1.x network router. The second router keeps "resetting" the network, causing IP address problems on the first network, screwing up our POS system in the process. But we still need to access the linux machines on network 2 (via http) from the machines on network 1.The goal is to be able to be sitting at machine 192.168.1.x on one network, open a web browser, type in a 175.69.10.x address on the other network and have the linux web-based application come up from the machine on the second network. (We may need more services bridged besides just http.)Putting both networks on the EOC connection controlled by a single router is NOT an option.
I have a desktop connected to a wireless network. I have a router that will be used to allow open access to the internet without allowing direct access to the existing network, There is no ethernet connection in the area and this router was ree with limited features. So no Wifi as WAN I want to use the desktop's ethernet NIC to obtain a WAN connection. For now I can not setup a VLAN and must configure the two networks as poorly described. Sadly I am not familiar with bridging connections in XP and am unsure about specifics. Also, as a quick test, I bridged the connections and lost wireless connectivity.
We have telus firbe internet at this house. we have two connections each 25m-bit we've both got actiontech V1000H's. What im thinking is we hook each gateway up to a host pc (server) and go out from there to a switch (one line dedicated input, the other output as to not clog throughput), then from the switch out to two pc's in the house. phones xbox ect can use its own router(s) in theory would this work.
all based on gigabit lan will have additional network cards added for now we're doing a simple data server, but we've been pondering on how to get two separate connections to work in unison?
I have some network experience but not a lot so here is my problem.I have a zyxel q1000z from qwest that i want to bridge to my dir 655.I go through the settings to put their router/modem to bridge mode. This units default ip is the same as tslinkink, 192.168.0.1 so i change the d-link to 192.168.0.2. I then go into the D-link and enter my isp's pppoe settings and password. I reboot when i am done but can't connect to the internet.It shows connected but that's it. I want to use the d-link as the only router as the zyxel has very few settings and has slowed down my netflix.
