Hi All,

I am trying to configure 2 redundant L2TPV3 tunels for a customer between two geographically dispersed sites over a L3 cloud. The customer would like a dynamic mechanism to failover from the primary to the secondary tunel in case of loss of connectivity over the primary WAN link. I thought of using Spanning-tree.

The primary tunel is configured and both sites are connected fine. But for some reason BPDU's are not travelling over that tunel. Without BPDUs spanning-tree will be useless and the failover will not occur and in fact a loop will occur.

Does anyone know any issues that may affect BPDUs travelling over L2TPV3 tunels?
like MTU size, mismatched VLANs on both sides of the tunnel etc....?

cheers
Yakout
