l2pt add - Create a L2PT rule
l2pt edit - Modify an existing L2PT rule

Description:

Create or modify a Layer-2 Protocol Tunneling rule. Configure the rule operation mode and parameters.

Syntax:

l2pt {add|edit} <rule-name> {
   {state {disable | enable}} |
   {catchall  {disable | enable}} |
   {mode {drop | forward | tunnel | peer} } |
   {protocol {stp | lacp | lamp | oam | auth | e-lmi | lldp | cdp | bpdu |
      gmrp | gvrp | uld | pagp | pvst | vtp | dtp | stp-uf | 
      pb-ga | pb-gvrp | cisco-cfm | pause}} |
   {inport <port-name> } |
   {outport <port-name> } |
   {unique-id [<1-64>]} |
   {replacement-mac {cisco | accedian}} |
   {evc-mapping {none | push | pop}} |
   {vlan1-type {c-vlan | s-vlan}} |
   {vlan2-type {c-vlan | s-vlan}} |
   {vid-list <list>} 
   {vlan-filtering {disable | enable}} |
   {rule-vid-from <vid>} |
   {rule-vid-to <vid>} |
   {rule-vid-pcp <pcp>} |
   {rule-vid-cfi <cfi>} |
   {rule-type {c-vlan | s-vlan}} 
   {cos-mapping <cos-mode>} |
   {cos-map-pcp <pcp>} |
   {cos-map-cfi <cfi>} |}+

Parameters:

Parameter Description
<rule-name> Rule name.
state Enable or disable the L2PT rule.
catchall Enable or disable the catchall mode of a rule.
mode Selects the operation mode of the L2PT rule:
  • drop: Frames matching the specific rule are dropped.
  • forward: Frames are sent unaltered from the incoming port to the outgoing port. Optionally, EVC mapping can be enabled on forwarding rules.
  • tunnel: Frames matching the specific rule get their destination MAC address replaced by the MAC specified in the rule parameters when ingressing the specified inport. Frames matching the specific rule get their original destination MAC address put back when ingressing the specified outport. Tunneling rules are bidirectional.
  • peer: The frames are sent to software layers for further processing.
protocol The Layer-2 Control Protocol to be processed by this specific rule.
inport The rule's ingress port. For tunneling rules, this specifies the port where the frames to be tunneled ingress.
outport The rule's egress port. For tunneling rules, this specifies the port where the frames to be de-tunneled ingress.
unique-id The unique identifier used by the tunneling rules. This is used to build a unique replacement MAC address.
replacement-mac The multicast MAC address to use as a replacement when protocol tunneling is performed. The following replacement MAC can be used:
  • cisco: 01:00:0C:CD:CD:D0 is used.
  • accedian: 01:15:AD:CC:xx:yy is used where:
    xx: the unique-id.
    yy: the protocol id.
evc-mapping Allows forwarding rules to perform EVC mapping:
  • none: Frames are forwarded unaltered.
  • push: A tag of vlan1-type is added.
  • pop: If the VLAN type and ID both match, the tag is removed.
  • replace: The tag in the incoming frame is replaced.
vlan1-type First VLAN ethertype. For tunneling rules, specifies the ethertype of the first VLAN tag. For forwarding ethertype rules with EVC mapping enabled, specifies the VLAN pushed to or popped from the frame.
vlan2-type Second VLAN ethertype. For tunneling rules, specifies the ethertype of the second VLAN tag.
vid-list Specifies which VLAN tags to insert in the tunneled or forwarded frames. For tunnels, the format is a list of comma-separated groups formatted as vlan1:vlan2. The second tag (Q-in-Q) entry is optional. For forwarding rules, the format is a single numerical vlan-id. Double-tagging is not supported in this mode.
vlan-filtering Enables per-VLAN filtering for this L2PT rule. Only the frames with a VLAN ID matching the one specified in the rule-vid and with an ethertype matching the one specified in the rule-type field will be accepted.
rule-vid-from Lower bound of the VLAN ID range used by the vlan-filtering. Only the frames with VLAN IDs included in the specified range will be accepted.
rule-vid-to Higher bound of the VLAN ID range used by the vlan-filtering. Only the frames with VLAN IDs included in the specified range will be accepted.
rule-vid-pcp Priority Code Point for the filtered VLAN ID. <0-7> for a specific priority or "all" to accept any PCP.
rule-vid-cfi Canonical Format Indicator for the filtered VLAN ID. <0-1> for a specific format or "all" to accept any CFI.
rule-type Ethertype used by the vlan-filtering. Only the frames with a matching ethertype will be accepted.
cos-mapping Selects the CoS mapping mode of the rule:
  • map: The specified CoS PCP/CFI fields are mapped in the outgoing frame.
  • preserve: The CoS PCP/CFI fields from the incoming frame are copied to the outgoing frame.
cos-map-pcp Priority Code Point inserted in the outgoing frame in mapped mode. Accepted values are in the <0-7> range.
cos-map-cfi Canonical Format Indicator inserted in the outgoing frame in mapped mode. Accepted values are in the <0-1> range.
