Configuring an Edge Device to Replace the Multicast Destination MAC Address

To prevent a backbone network edge device from sending the received Layer 2 protocol data units (PDUs) to its CPU for processing and ensure that the Layer 2 PDUs are tunneled across the backbone network, configure the edge device to replace the multicast destination MAC address in Layer 2 PDUs with a specified multicast MAC address.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run l2protocol-tunnel protocol group-mac group-mac

    An edge device is configured to replace the multicast destination MAC address in Layer 2 PDUs with a specified multicast MAC address. This specified multicast MAC address is also called a group MAC address.

  3. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
