Hello list, I am in the process of planning a build out of a L2 VPN, in which I'd like to have my primary "switch" and DHCP server be a FreeBSD system. I would like to join each new host to the VPN by establishing an IP tunnel with the primary "switch" which transports ethernet frames over the tunnel. So far, the only protocol I have found supported by FreeBSD which seems capable of this is EtherIP. As far as I can tell, it doesn't look like there is any support for L2TPv3, and none of the PPP implementations available appear to support BCP. I'm not completely opposed to using EtherIP, but if there is something more modern which will meet my needs, I would probably try that first. So my question becomes: * Does anyone know of a method supported under FreeBSD (other than EtherIP) for tunneling ethernet over IP that they may be able to suggest I check out? Thanks for any suggestions!
