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 ?
