I have found various articles that sound like I can do this... but I need to be clear that it will work so I can plan a purchase.
Requirements:
Setup an Internet connection at a new small office. This office will not have any local server resources, so the best plan would be to extend my existing VLANs at our HG location to this site. I need to trunk certain VLANs across the internet to this location so that I can assign device to the same VLANs at HQ location. Device on these extended VLANs would get DHCP/DNS service from our HQ building and we can apply our LAN based policies just like this LAN was in the main HQ building. I do not want to create new subnets at this location.
Idea:
I already have an XG430 at the HQ site on Google Fiber. Install an XG135 or XG210 at the new site. Build a RED tunnel between the sites.
Create a physical interface on each XG that is assigned to VLANs I want to extend. Each site XG interface would be connected to a LAN port with all VLANs set to tagged traffic.
RED tunnel would "extend" the VLANs it knows about across the internet, like a QinQ setup, all at layer 2...???
Question:
Would this work? Has anyone done this before? I know how to build RED tunnels, have one with another site already.
Here is a diagram of what I am imaging...
