l2protocol (Ethernet)
To configure Layer 2 protocol tunneling and protocol data unit (PDU) filtering on an Ethernet interface, use
the l2protocol command in Layer 2 transport configuration mode. To disable a Layer 2 protocol tunneling
and Layer 2 protocol data units configuration, use the no form of this command.
l2protocol cpsv {tunnel| reverse-tunnel}
no l2protocol
Syntax Description
Enables L2PT for the interface. L2PT is enabled for the following protocols only:
•
CDP
•
STP
•
VTP
STP includes all Spanning Tree protocol derivatives (RSTP, MSTP,
etc.)
Note
cpsv
Performs L2PT encapsulation on frames as they enter the interface. Also, performs L2PT
de-encapsulation on frames as they exit they interface.
L2PT encapsulation rewrites the destination MAC address with the L2PT destination
MAC address. L2PT deencapsulation replaces the L2PT destination MAC address with
the original destination MAC address.
tunnel
Performs L2PT encapsulation on frames as they exit the interface. Also, perform L2PT
deencapsulation on frames as they enter the interface.
reverse-tunnel
Command Default
All Layer 2 protocol data units are forwarded through the network without modification.
Command Modes
