is LLDP through routed openvpn possible?

Question

I would like to have LLDP traffic forwarded between client & server. Is it possible to achieve this using routed openVPN configuration?

P.S.: LLDP works with bridged openVPN

Answer 1

LLDP is a layer 2 protocol. Therefore it cannot work over a routed connection.

Answer 2

It is actually possible with VxLAN

Extract : Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) is a network virtualization technology that attempts to ameliorate the scalability problems associated with large cloud computing deployments. It uses a VLAN-like encapsulation technique to encapsulate MAC-based OSI layer 2 Ethernet frames within layer 4 UDP packets, using 4789 as the default IANA-assigned destination UDP port number

But you need equipment at each end that are VxLAN capable
