[c-nsp] Bridging 802.1q VLANs

[Richard J. Sears]

I am moving from one office to another and I would like to do it as 
seamlessly as possible.  I'm looking for a way to bridge 802.1q VLAN's 
across a WAN link so that I don't have to move entire VLAN's at once. At 
the current office I've got a NetGear switch (which supports 802.1q) as 
a core switch and at the new office I've got a Cisco 3560 as a core 
switch.  The PTP connection between the two offices will be 7 T1's 
terminated at both ends by a single 7204 NPE200 with a PA-MC-8T1. We 
can't afford to put in a GigE connection between the two offices or this 
would be really easy via VTP.  From what I've read it looks like there 
may be a way to do this via VRF or SDE. Has anyone else done something 
similar?
