Usage Guidelines Use this command to configure an OpenVPN interface as a tap device.
By default, an OpenVPN interface is configured as a tun device. A tun device is a virtual network
interface that operates on Layer 3 (network layer) traffic, such as IP packets. A tap device is also a
virtual network interface, but it operates on Layer 2 (link layer) traffic. A tap device is used in instances
when two ends of an OpenVPN tunnel must be bridged or require a broadcast interface. A sample
instance is DHCP Relay.
NOTE
Each end of an OpenVPN tunnel must have the same device-type configuration.
Use the set form of this command to configure an interface as a tap device.
Use the delete form of this command to return an interface to its default behavior, that is, the interface
is configured as a tun device.
Use the show form of this command to view the device-type configuration.
