Chapter 9: Layer 2 configuration

You configure Layer 2 (data link layer) features to allow traffic to pass between adjacent network nodes
in a WAN, or between devices on the same LAN segment.
With Release 10.2 and later, you can specify a range of Ethernet ports to configure at the same time. To
do so, you must use the interface range ethernet command.

Prerequisites to Layer 2 configuration

• The Avaya Secure Router 2330/4134 must be securely installed in an equipment rack,
and properly grounded.
• You must have commissioned your Secure Router 2330/4134 so it is ready for software
feature configuration.
• You can configure Layer 2 features (with the exception of port mirroring and LACP) on
WAN interfaces that are configured with Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) or Frame Relay
(FR) encapsulation. Ensure you have planned the relationship between WAN interfaces
and Layer 2 features for your network. For example, if you plan to configure VLAN stacking
on WAN bundles, ensure you have configured the required bundles.

Layer 2 configuration procedures

This task flow shows you the sequence of procedures you perform to configure Layer 2 features
on the Secure Router 2330/4134.
