Hi Vishal,

Thanks for your quick reply.

From my configs below you will notice 2 major differences:

First, I am tunneling Ethernet and not VLAN interfaces (meaning no dot1q
interfaces)

Second, tunneled VLANs are different on both sides. i.e. vlan 101 on one
side and vlan 300 on the other side.

That I am sure complicates BPDU and root bridge issue.

Hi ,

I have configured this L2TPV3 between two POP routers.

All my POP routers are connected via ATM PVP provided by national Service
Provider.

It worked fine , I cud exchange CDP, VTP and STP informations.

We are thinking of using this for layer 2 vpns , very simple and nice
stuff.

My two pop router's config was something like this:

Router1:
l2tp-class cisco
 cookie size 8

pseudowire-class cisco
 encapsulation l2tpv3
 protocol l2tpv3 cisco
 ip local interface Loopback50
!

interface Loopback50
 ip address 12.12.12.1 255.255.255.255
!
interface ATM0/0/0.50 point-to-point
 ip address 25.25.25.1 255.255.255.252
 no snmp trap link-status
 pvc 149/50
 !

interface FastEthernet6/0/0.20
 encapsulation dot1Q 20
 no snmp trap link-status
 no cdp enable
 xconnect 11.11.11.1 34 pw-class cisco

router ospf 555
 log-adjacency-changes
 network 12.12.12.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 25.25.25.0 0.0.0.3 area 0

Router2:

l2tp-class cisco
 cookie size 8

pseudowire-class cisco
 encapsulation l2tpv3
 protocol l2tpv3 cisco
 ip local interface Loopback50
!

interface Loopback50
 ip address 11.11.11.1 255.255.255.255
!
interface ATM0/0/0.50 point-to-point
 ip address 25.25.25.2 255.255.255.252
 no snmp trap link-status
 pvc 149/50
 !

interface FastEthernet6/0/0.20
 encapsulation dot1Q 20
 no snmp trap link-status
 no cdp enable
 xconnect 12.12.12.1 34 pw-class cisco

router ospf 555
 log-adjacency-changes
 network 11.11.11.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 25.25.25.0 0.0.0.3 area 0

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
