VLAN trunking over a WAN

by amarshall . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

OK, maybe I just suck at using a search engine, or maybe what I’m trying to do is impossible. So I pose the question to someone more knowledgable about Cisco network equipment than I.

We have three properties that are connected via T1 point-to-point links. We use Cisco 1700-series routers to route traffic over the T1s. Currently, only the primary VLAN is routed over the WAN links. What I would like to do is route a second VLAN over the WAN via a VLAN trunk. I have found ample data on creating a trunk from the switch to the router and using a router to route inter-VLAN traffic, but nothing on getting the routers to set up a VLAN trunk over the WAN connection.

Is what I’m trying to do even possible with my equipment? If so, does someone know where I could find a good tutorial on how to do it?
