I was wondering if it is possible to do the following with a combination
of FreeSDB and netgraph. I am trying to tunnel multiple VLAN over an IP
network - bridging an 802.1q trunk as per the text diagram below. I am
trying to trasnport all of the vlans between the switches.
If 2,4,6,8 are VALNs that are configured on the Cisco switches (or any
other 802.1q cable switch) can frrebsd be used to transport them across an
IP network ?
I have vtun/netgraph bridging working now and have a set of server turing
up next week to try this out but was wondering if there is any advice as
to which is the best way to go ?
Are there any good howto docs on Netgraph ?
Has anybody done this before ?
