Layer 2 Data Center Interconnect options

This is most often an unwanted outcome because issues, such as infamous Layer 2 loops, in one data center can propagate across and impact the other data center.

Data Center Interconnect | Equinix Product Documentation

This topic provides high-level guidance on various methods available through Equinix Fabric to build a Layer 2 Data Center Interconnect (DCI) between two or more Equinix Fabric locations.

Data Center Interconnect: Complete Guide to Multi-Site Connectivity

Data center interconnect (DCI) connects multiple facilities through private circuits for disaster recovery, data replication, and workload distribution. Learn the differences between Layer 2

Layer 2 Extension Technologies for Distributed Data Centers

In this article, we''ll explore various Layer 2 extension technologies such as Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV), Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and

Design a Robust Layer-2 Fabric

ACME Inc. is replacing an existing data center fabric with a next-generation solution. They have two data centers less than 100 km apart and decided to implement a layer-2 interconnect and long

External Routing with Layer-2 Data Center Interconnect (DCI)

Layer-2 DCI is the least desirable data center interconnect solution , as it extends a single broadcast domain (and thus a single failure domain) across multiple sites, turning them into a single availability

Configure VXLAN Stitching for Layer 2 Data Center Interconnect

This document describes the configuration and validation steps for implementing Data Center Interconnect (DCI) using VXLAN stitching in a gateway device. The VXLAN stitching feature enables
