bpdu-tunnel stp bridge role provider
Function
The bpdu-tunnel stp bridge role provider command configures the switch as a provider on the network.
The undo bpdu-tunnel stp bridge role provider command configures the switch as a customer on the network.
By default, the switch is a customer on the network.
Only the S6720-LI, S6720S-LI, S6720-SI, S6720S-SI, S5730-SI, S5730S-EI, S5720I-SI, S5720-SI, S5735-S, S5735S-S, S5735-S-I, and S5720S-SI support this command.
Usage Guidelines
If the switch is configured as a customer, the well-known destination MAC address of the transmitted BPDU packets is 01-80-C2-00-00-00.
If the switch is configured as a provider, the well-known destination MAC address of the transmitted BPDU packets is 01-80-C2-00-00-08. The provider directly forwards the BPDU packets created by the customer, instead of sending the packets to the CPU.
If the bpdu-tunnel stp bridge role provider and l2protocol-tunnel commands are configured simultaneously, the l2protocol-tunnel command preferentially takes effect.
