Displaying And Maintaining Bpdu Tunnel Configuration; Bpdu Tunnel Configuration Example; Transmitting Stp Packets Through A Tunnel - 3Com 5500-EI PWR Install Manual

Note:
The BPDU Tunnel is unavailable to all the ports of a device if the device has the fabric feature
enabled on one of its ports.
If BPDU tunnel transparent transmission is enabled for packets of a protocol, the protocol cannot
be enabled on the port. For example, if you execute the bpdu-tunnel lacp command, the lacp
enable command cannot be executed on the port.
The bpdu-tunnel stp command is mutually exclusive with the vlan-vpn tunnel command. Refer to
MSTP part of this manual for details.
To enable BPDU tunnel transmission for PAGP packets, LACP packets and UDLD packets, make
sure that the links the service provider provides are point-to-point links. Otherwise, these protocols
cannot operate properly.
Because the NDP configuration and NTDP configuration cannot be synchronized to ports in an
aggregation group, make sure that NDP and NTDP are not enabled on any port in an aggregation
group before enabling the service provider network to use aggregation group to transmit HGMP
packets through BPDU tunnels.
The bpdu-tunnel cdp command is mutually exclusive with the voice vlan legacy command.
Refer to Voice VLAN part of this manual for details.
If a BPDU-tunnel-enabled port receives a tunnel packet from the customer's network, errors occur
in the network and the tunnel packet will be dropped directly.

BPDU Tunnel Configuration Example

Transmitting STP Packets Through a Tunnel

Network requirements
Customer1 and Customer2 are devices operating in a customer network; Provider1 and Provider2
are edge devices operating in the service provider network. The two devices receive data from the
customer network by using Ethernet1/0/1 and Ethernet1/0/2 respectively.
Provider1 and Provider2 are connected through trunk links, which permit packets of all VLANs.
Enable the service provider network to transmit STP packets of the customer network through
BPDU tunnel. The destination MAC address for tunnel packets is 010f-e233-8b22.
Enable the VLAN-VPN feature for the service provider network, and enable the service provider
network to use VLAN 100 to transmit data packets of the customer network.
Use the command...
