(L2PT).
l2protocol-tunnel
custom-pdu
This command configures the PDU format and pattern used for custom PDUs.
Syntax
l2protocol-tunnel custom-pdu index destination-mac {bpdu protocol-id
eth2 ethertype snap oui protocol-id}
index – PDU identifier. (Range: 1-16)
destination-mac – Destination MAC address. (Format: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx or
xxxxxxxxxxxx; for example, 01-23-45-00-00-00)
bpdu – IEEE 802.3 BPDU with logical link control (LLC) data communication
protocol layer 42-42-03.
protocol-id – Range: 0-ffff hexadecimal
eth2 – Ethernet II packets.
ethertype – A two-octet field in an Ethernet frame. It is used to indicate
which protocol is encapsulated in the payload of an Ethernet Frame.
(Range: 600-ffff hexadecimal)
