Configuring Layer 2 Tunneling For Etherchannels; Configuring The Sp Edge Switch - Cisco WS-C3020 Software Configuration Manual

Configuring Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling
Use the no l2protocol-tunnel [cdp | stp | vtp] interface configuration command to disable protocol
tunneling for one of the Layer 2 protocols or for all three. Use the no l2protocol-tunnel
shutdown-threshold [cdp | stp | vtp] and the no l2protocol-tunnel drop-threshold [cdp | stp | vtp]
commands to return the shutdown and drop thresholds to the default settings.
This example shows how to configure Layer 2 protocol tunneling for CDP, STP, and VTP and to verify
the configuration.
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/11
Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel cdp
Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel stp
Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel vtp
Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel shutdown-threshold 1500
Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel drop-threshold 1000
Switch(config-if)# exit
Switch(config)# l2protocol-tunnel cos 7
Switch(config)# end

Configuring Layer 2 Tunneling for EtherChannels

To configure Layer 2 point-to-point tunneling to facilitate the automatic creation of EtherChannels, you
need to configure both the SP edge switch and the customer switch.

Configuring the SP Edge Switch

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a SP edge switch for Layer 2
protocol tunneling for EtherChannels:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 interface interface-id
Step 3 switchport mode dot1q-tunnel

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enter interface configuration mode, and enter the interface to be configured
as a tunnel port. This should be the edge port in the SP network that
connects to the customer switch. Valid interfaces are physical interfaces.
Configure the interface as an IEEE 802.1Q tunnel port.
