Edge sub interfaces can be backed by vlan/vxlan or none. I believe you are clear with VLAN & VXLAN ,when we use none -  and want to establish a tunnel and route the packet via that for Un-stretched  network with egress optimization ticked,we need to update the respective IP on both the vpn edges(same subnet). Whatever  Un-stretched  network you have on the both sides,create a route to  remote sub-interface edge ,that way you have a  route for Un-stretched network which will be protected by l2 vpn as long the tunnel is UP. Hope this is clear Smiley Happy

When you are in need of establishing a l2 tunnel for a untagged network which is connected to nsx edge sub interface Or when Network type is none we need to update the un stretched network on both the sides so that machines on both the side can communicate each other over L2 tunnel , for eg if it is 192.168.10.0/24 - we need to update 192.168.10.0/24 on Un-stretched network on L2 Server and Client Side with Unique IP on both the interfaces(Sub-Interface) . However we need a route for source to reach destination network -192.168.10.0/24 Source via the IP of remote Edge Sub-interface IP
