Hello, I have a requirement to connect two computers on the same subnet on different sites.
Is it feasible to bridge layer 2 across an IPSec VPN between 2 physical Fortigate 500D (firmware 5.4.5) firewalls ?
Or should we forget about that and just get a L2 MPLS WAN from our service provider ?
Thank you for any information.
Hello
You can do this with VXLAN over IPsec. This was introduced on 5.4.
