# 📎Stretching Layer 2 between the Data Centre & the Edge📌

Over at [ipSpace](https://www.ipspace.net/)[Ivan Pepelnjak](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivanpepelnjak/overlay/about-this-profile/) is having heart palpitations, but in our corner of the Savannah, the local tribes love stretching Layer 2. Its approached with a religious fervour and you are excommunicated from the tribe should you dare suggest its as sneaky as a Rinkhals cornering his prey.

Anyhow, you work with what you have, so your local Meerkat watch guard has come to the rescue with layer 2 connectivity between a SD-WAN aggregator and an Edge.

All that is required is to configure private addresses on a secondary interface of the agg and on a leg of the edge and Bob's your aunty.

As ingenious as Stoffel the honey badger, I tell you!
