You must enable the L2 VPN service on the L2 VPN client (source NSX Edge).

Procedure

  1. Log in to the vSphere Web Client.
  2. Click Networking & Security > NSX Edges.
  3. Double-click an NSX Edge that you configured in L2 VPN client mode.
  4. Click Manage > VPN > L2 VPN.
  5. Next to L2 VPN Service Status, click Start.

What to do next

  • To enable the client and server to connect to each other, create NAT or firewall rules on the Internet facing firewall side .
  • If a trunk vNIC backed by a standard portgroup is being stretched, enable the L2 VPN traffic manually by doing the following steps:
    1. Set Promiscuous mode to Accept.
    2. Set Forged Transmits to Accept.

    For more information about promiscuous mode operation and forged transmits, see Securing vSphere Standard Switches in the VMware vSphere ® Documentation.
