Configuring L2CP Tunneling
– 487 –
Processing protocol packets defined in IEEE 802.1ad – Provider Bridges
â—† When an IEEE 802.1ad protocol packet is received on an uplink port (i.e., an
802.1Q tunnel ingress port connecting the edge switch to the service provider
network)
â–
with the destination address 01-80-C2-00-00-00,0B~0F (C-VLAN tag), it is
forwarded to all QinQ uplink ports and QinQ access ports in the same S-
VLAN for which L2PT is enabled for that protocol.
â–
with the destination address 01-80-C2-00-00-01~0A (S-VLAN tag), it is
filtered, decapsulated, and processed locally by the switch if the protocol is
supported.
â—† When a protocol packet is received on an access port (i.e., an 802.1Q trunk port
connecting the edge switch to the local customer network)
â–
with the destination address 01-80-C2-00-00-00,0B~0F (C-VLAN), and
â–
L2PT is enabled on the port, the frame is forwarded to all QinQ uplink
ports and QinQ access ports on which L2PT is enabled for that protocol
in the same S-VLAN.
â–
L2PT is disabled on the port, the frame is decapsulated and processed
locally by the switch if the protocol is supported.
â–
with destination address 01-80-C2-00-00-01~0A (S-VLAN), the frame is
filtered, decapsulated, and processed locally by the switch if the protocol is
supported.
Processing Cisco-compatible protocol packets
â—† When a Cisco-compatible L2PT packet is received on an uplink port, and
â–
recognized as a CDP/VTP/STP/PVST+ protocol packet (where STP means
STP/RSTP/MSTP), it is forwarded to the following ports in the same S-VLAN:
(a) all access ports for which L2PT has been disabled, and (b) all uplink
ports.
â–
recognized as a Generic Bridge PDU Tunneling (GBPT) protocol packet (i.e.,
having the destination address 01-00-0C-CD-CD-D0), it is forwarded to the
following ports in the same S-VLAN:
â–
other access ports for which L2PT is enabled after decapsulating the
packet and restoring the proper protocol and MAC address
information.
â–
all uplink ports.
