My EIGRP knowledge is limited. I was wondering if one of you Cisco geniuses could help me with my configuration. First I have a scenario here. My corporate office has a Layer 3 Switch with multiple VLANs configured, however they want to setup a router at a DR Site. They purchased two routers which will be connected via a DS3 for transport to the DR Site. Is it possible to have a VLAN - 10.2.0.0 configured on the L3 Switch, and have it route over and be accessible at the DR Site. I would use say 10.4.2.1 and 10.4.2.2 for the Serial Interfaces, is it possible to use EIGRP in such a scenario. I know my question is vague, but if anyone can help, that would be great. Here is the Diagram Link:

Yes that setup is possible using EIGRP
Some switches also support routed interface
Pick a test port and see if 4506 will accept the following
int no switchport ip address .... exit
sho int status ! see if it says 'routed"
#sh int fa 11/1 switch Name: Fa11/1 Switchport: Disabled
#sh int fa 11/1 status
Port Name Status Vlan Duplex Speed Type Fa11/1 connected routed a-full a-100
10/100BaseTX#sh run int fa 11/1 Building configuration...
Current configuration : 68 bytes ! interface FastEthernet11/1 ip address x.x.x.60 255.255.0.0 end
If you want to extended a VLAN (10.2.0.0/16) from your HQ to the DRP site, then you would have to bridge that VLAN across the DS3 link which is possible
how can i bridge the vlan?
In the diagram that you posted it looks like you are only intending on having one VLAN at the DRP site - is that the cae and are you sure that will will not want add others VLANS now or in the future.
I'll just use EIGRP then to route. You're right. May want to expand into the future.
