Command Usage
◆
◆
Use this command to configure user-defined PDUs. Then use the
l2protocol-tunnel command to assign these PDUs to an interface.
Refer to the Command Usage section for the
command.
For L2PT to function properly, QinQ must be enabled on the switch using the
dot1q-tunnel system-tunnel-control
802.1Q uplink mode using the
Console(config)#l2protocol-tunnel custom-pdu 1 01-00-0c-cd-cd-d0 bpdu 0010
Console(config-if)#
l2protocol-tunnel tunnel-dmac mac-address
mac-address – The switch rewrites the destination MAC address in all
upstream L2PT protocol packets (e.g., STP BPDUs) to this value, and
forwards them on to uplink ports. The MAC address must be specified in
the format xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx or xxxxxxxxxxxx.
When L2PT is not used, protocol packets (such as STP) are flooded to 802.1Q
access ports on the same edge switch, but filtered from 802.1Q tunnel ports.
This creates disconnected protocol domains in the customer's network.
L2PT can be used to pass various types of protocol packets belonging to the
same customer transparently across a service provider's network. In this way,
normally segregated network segments can be configured to function inside a
common protocol domain.
