EVPL equivalent
Hello Community,
We currently have a EVPL service which connects our two offices. Which is great as the EVPL allows the remote site to be on the same IP/Subnet as the head office and everything works as if we were all sitting at the head office.
Now thinking ahead, if something goes wrong with the EVPL, how do we establish the same connectivity using the Sonicwall Firewalls we have on site. I know about Site to Site VPN, but from what I read so far, each side has to be on different IP/Subnets.
Both offices have their own internet connection with static external IP Addresses. Both firewalls support Site to Site VPN.
Any solutions would be appreciated.

@Enoch_F you're right, this cannot be done with VPN alone. In that case I would put a Mikrotik Router in the mix by establishing an EoIP Tunnel. But in your scenario I'am not 100% certain, because it seems your EVPL does provide some form of Bridge for your subnet? With EoIP you would have two Bridges which calls for trouble, because you can't tell which way the packets are going.
Maybe you could enable the Mikrotik on Demand. I'am not a big fan of same subnets on different locations, make things overly complicated at some point.
