Configuring Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling
This example shows how to configure Layer 2 protocol tunneling for CDP, STP, and VTP and to verify
the configuration.

Configuring Layer 2 Tunneling for EtherChannels
To configure Layer 2 point-to-point tunneling to facilitate the 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 Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id 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.
Step 3
no shutdown Enable the port, if necessary. By default, UNIs and ENIs are disabled, and
NNIs are enabled.
Step 4
switchport mode dot1q-tunnel Configure the interface as an 802.1Q tunnel port.
Step 5
l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point
[pagp | lacp | udld]
(Optional) Enable point-to-point protocol tunneling for the desired
protocol. If no keyword is entered, tunneling is enabled for all three
protocols.
Caution To avoid a network failure, make sure that the network is a
point-to-point topology before you enable tunneling for PAgP,
LACP, or UDLD packets.
