Configuring Interface-based Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling

When each interface of a backbone device is connected to only one user network and Layer 2 protocol packets sent from the user network do not need VLAN tags, configure interface-based Layer 2 protocol tunneling on the interface connected to the user network. This configuration allows Layer 2 protocol packets to be transparently transmitted on the backbone network.

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before configuring interface-based Layer 2 protocol tunneling, complete the following task:
  • Set link layer protocol parameters and IP addresses for interfaces to ensure that the link layer protocol on the interfaces is Up.

  • Use the bpdu enable command to enable the interfaces to send BPDUs to the CPU.
