Stretching layer 2 networks for HI GIO's DRaaS.

During on-premises to the cloud migrations, stretch the on-premises networks across the HI GIO cloud site to allow network connectivity between already migrated and not yet migrated virtual machines in the same network segment.

Layer 2 VPN (L2 VPN) stretches the L2 networks across the sites.

1. Prerequisites: deployed VMware Cloud Director Availability On-premises Appliance

on-premises VM must be connected to VLAN-backed networks configured on distributed switches

(Standard Switch - NOT SUPORT)

2. Procedure: To complete the L2 stretch, we follow the steps:

• Preparing the configure:

• Deploy NSX Autonomous Edge (on-premises site)

• Register & configure the Networks of the NSX Autonomous Edge On-Premises

• Create a L2 VPN - Server session (HI GIO cloud site).

• Create a L2 VPN - Client session (on-premises site).
