L2 VPN allows you to configure a tunnel between two sites. Virtual machines remain on the same subnet in spite of being moved between these sites, which enables you to extend your datacenter. An NSX Edge at one site can provide all services to virtual machines on the other site. To create the L2 VPN tunnel, you configure an L2 VPN server and L2 VPN client.
