Hi,
I received my REDs today, thanks a lot for that chance !
I want to use it as the promised long ethernet cable from my main Office.
No IP configuration, no DHCP, just layer 2 tunneling from the central site
to the red site.
The red is up an online and connected to my central Astaro 7.504, but from here
it is not clear to me how to proceed.
When adding the new Ethernet Interface and choosing the RED as my Interface
I still have to enter an IP address, otherwise I can not proceed.
If the RED is a Layer 2 Tunneling device there should be no Layer 3 IP address neccessary.
The goal is to connect a PC to the RED and it is the subnet of the central LAN and gets it IP from the DHCP server there and not locally within its own subnet like classic IPSec VPN I used before for remote locations.
So the RED delivers what the carriers like COLT call Layer 2 Ethernet VPN.
Thanks a lot for your Help.
Regards,
Ralf
