Is "Bridged" mode supported for WAN COM?

​Hello,​

​I've been going through VPLEX training and also reviewing the Excel document "IPComConfigWorksheet" to better understand how IP based WAN COM works/is supported.​

​In this Excel spreadsheet, I see that both "Bridged" (Layer 2) and "Routed" (Layer 3) scenarios are included. The spreadsheet frequently refers to "Bridged" mode as used for Proof of Concept and Test deployments, which I completely understand. However, my question is: ​​does EMC fully support VPLEX WAN COM connectivity across Bridged connections in ​​Production​​ deployments​​? For example, the customer gets a couple of Layer 2 WAN circuits, where each ISP supplies a switch at each site, and the Layer 2 VLANs are "stretched" across sites for each of the WAN COM port groups. Fully supported? Or must customer introduce Layer 3 routing between sites?​

​Thanks,​

​Bill​

Bridged mode across two independent layer 2 connections is supported.
