Operationally Forwarding
Configuration BPDUs are sent out a SAP in the forwarding state. Layer 2 frames received on the
SAP are source learned and destination forwarded according to the FIB. Layer 2 frames received
on other forwarding interfaces and destined for the SAP are also forwarded.
SAP BPDU Encapsulation State
IEEE 802.1d (referred as dot1d) and Cisco’s per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST) BPDU
encapsulations are supported on a per SAP basis. The STP is associated with a VPLS service like
PVST is per VLAN. The difference between the two encapsulations is in the Ethernet and LLC
framing and a type-length-value (TLV) field trailing the BPDU.The encapsulation format cannot
be configured by the user,the system automatically determines the encapsulation format based on
the BPDUs received on the port.
The following table shows differences between Dot1d and PVST Ethernet BPDU encapsulations
based on the interface encap-type field:
