L2Pt, Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling - B+B SmartWorx IE-MultiWay User Manual

L2PT, LAYER 2 PROTOCOL TUNNELING

This is a Cisco mechanism (L2PT) for sending frames from various protocols across a
cloud. This mechanism will modify protocols, such as CDP and others, in order for the
cloud to become transparent to the protocols. Firmware version B0 supports this feature.
L2PT is enabled on a per-port basis in VLAN mode 2. In this mode, ports are defined as
either Trunks or Access. Access ports have a switch that enables/disables L2PT.
If a VLAN # is added to a port and is the same VLAN # assigned for a tag on management
traffic, saving these changes will disrupt management indefinitely.
