To bring this topic to a conclusion, here are the basic ideas for a vlan tunneling lab exercise
Customer A and Customer B each use the same provider to carry network traffic between their respective sites. Necessary Equipment To properly perform this Lab exercise, the following equipment is required 1) Four routers capable of 802.1Q trunking on their Ethernet interfaces. Two such ethernet interfaces on each of the routers is preferable, but the Lab can be modified to use routers with only one such ethernet port on each. In fact, for my practice, I used two 2621's and two 2620's 2) Two Catalyst 3550 switches. Layer 3 capability is not required for this Lab exercise. 3) Patch cables for connecting router ethernet ports to switches 4) Patch cables for connecting the two switches. These may be fiber via GBIC, Gigastack, or Cat5 ethernet crossover cables. General Configuration Information All Customer routers are configured identically. Two routing protocols are in place - OSPF and EIGRP Networks 172.20.x.x/24 are OSPF routes Networks 172.21.x.x/24 are EIGRP routes The VLAN to subnet relationship is the same on both customer networks, as follows: VLAN 10 = 172.20.10.0/24 VLAN 20 = 172.20.20.0/24 VLAN 30 = 172.20.30.0/24 VLAN 40 = 172.21.40.0/24 VLAN 50 = 172.21.50.0/24 VLAN 60 = 172.20.60.0/24 As a sanity check, to assure that leaking is not taking place, each router should be configured with two loopback interfaces, one placed into the OSPF process and the other being placed into the EIGRP process. Something along the lines of: Customer A, Router 1 Loopback 1 = 192.168.1.0/24 Loopback 2 = 192.168.11.0/24 Customer A, Router 2 Loopback 1 = 192.168.101.0/24 Loopback 2 = 192.168.111.0/24 Customer B, Router 1 Loopback 1 = 192.168.2.0/24 Loopback 2 = 192.168.22.0/24 Customer B, Router 2 Loopback 1 = 192.168.202.0/24 Loopback 2 = 192.168.222.0/24 At the end of the day, thanks to VLAN tunneling, Customer_A routers saw eachother, and the OSPF and EIGRP routes propagated properly.
