RE: GRE TUNNEL/Ethernet-broadcast-like? [7:72738]

2003-07-23 Thread Ricardo J Castaneda
When I first triggered this question, certainly I took advantage of having a
forum full of creative techie people. Why would I need to bridge 2 LANs,
separated from a couple of routers or so, using a tunnel? Well, that
question, indeed, came from one of our customers, and then my coming to
think of ..."why not".

Like some guys said, if GRE tunnels can transport multicast traffic, why not
broadcast traffic?

I'll try out some guidelines you guys wrote earlier, like using IRB and so.
I would like to think that this forum was created not only for asking
certification questions but also for learning. I strongly believe that what
technology can't do now, will do tomorrow.

Best regards,

The BCMSN book I have, seems to focus on Catalyst 4000, 5000, 5xxx, 6000,
8500 series. Does this mean I have an older Cisco Press book?

best regards,

GRE TUNNEL/Ethernet-broadcast-like? [7:72738]

2003-07-22 Thread Ricardo J Castaneda
Hello,

A question barely came up to mind: Would it be possible to "join" a
broadcast domain, not by means of a LAN switch but from one remote router to
another, using GRE Tunnels?

Since I haven't done it before, I kind of thought that it'll be possible.
For instance, having:

R1eth0(no ip address)--GRE TUNNEL-Ser0--CLOUD--GRE_TUNN--Ser1---R2eth0(no ip
address)
  , where arp packets may flow from R1 to R2 via this GRE Tunnel.
  
Under this scenario and simply put, can R1'sLAN be also part of R2'sLAN? If
it's possible, how could the config be like?

Best regards,
