L2CP Commands

L2CP CLI commands are categorized as follows:

• Configuration Commands

Configuration Commands

This section includes L2CP configuration commands.

l2protocol-passthrough

Command Objective:
This command sets the option to pass through L2 protocol packets transparently received on the port.

Syntax:
l2protocol-passthrough {dot1x | lacp | stp | gvrp | gmrp| igmp | mvrp | mmrp | elmi | lldp | ecfm | eoam }

Parameter Description:

• dot1x - Passthrough Dot1x PDUs transparently received on on this port
• lacp - Passthrough LACP PDUs transparently received on this port
• stp - Passthrough STP PDUs transparently received on this port
• gvrp - Passthrough GVRP BPDUs transparently received on on this port
• gmrp - Passthrough GMRP BPDUs transparently received on on this port
• igmp - Passthrough IGMP Packets transparently received on on this port
• mvrp - Passthrough MVRP PDUs transparently received on on this port
• mmrp - Passthrough MMRP PDUs transparently received on on this port
• elmi - Passthrough ELMI PDUs transparently received on on this port
• lldp - Passthrough LLDP PDUs transparently received on on this port
• ecfm - Passthrough ECFM PDUs transparently received on on this port
• eoam - Passthrough EOAM PDUs transparently received on on this port

Mode:
Interface Configuration mode (Physical / Port channel)

Default:
Based on the port type

The port must be customer edge port / customer network port / proprietary customer edge port / proprietary customer network port/access port / provider network port / provider network port three-tagged.

The protocol should be disabled on the port, except for IGMP and Dot1x protocol, which have to be disabled globally.

Example:

Your Product(config-if)# l2protocol-passthrough eoam

l2protocol-tunnel

Command Objective:
This command enables the tunneling of L2 protocols on this port.

The no form of the command disables the tunneling of L2 protocols on this port.

Syntax:
l2protocol-tunnel {dot1x | lacp | stp | gvrp | gmrp| igmp | mvrp | mmrp | elmi | lldp | ecfm | eoam }

no { l2protocol-peer | l2protocol-discard | l2protocol-tunnel | l2protocol-passthrough }{dot1x | lacp | stp | gvrp | gmrp| igmp | mvrp | mmrp | elmi | lldp | ecfm | eoam}

Parameter Description:

• l2protocol-peer - Disables L2 protocol peer on the port
• l2protocol-discard - Disables L2 protocol peer on the port
• l2protocol-passthrough - Disables L2 protocol passthrough on the port
• dot1x - Enables the tunneling of L2 protocols for Dot1x PDUs
• lacp - Enables the tunneling of L2 protocols for LACP PDUs
• stp - Enables the tunneling of L2 protocols for STP BPDUs
• gvrp - Enables the tunneling of L2 protocols for GVRP BPDUs
• gmrp - Enables the tunneling of L2 protocols for GMRP BPDUs
• igmp - Enables the tunneling of L2 protocols for IGMP Packets
• mvrp - Enables the tunneling of L2 protocols for MVRP PDUs
• mmrp - Enables the tunneling of L2 protocols for MMRP PDUs
• elmi - Enables the tunneling of L2 protocols for ELMI PDUs
• lldp - Enables the tunneling of L2 protocols for LLDP PDUs
• ecfm - Enables the tunneling of L2 protocols for ECFM PDUs
• eoam - Enables the tunneling of L2 protocols for EOAM PDUs

Mode:
Interface Configuration mode (Physical / Port channel)

Default:
Based on the port type

The port must be customer edge port / customer network port / proprietary customer edge port / proprietary customer network port/access port.

The protocol should be disabled on the port, except for IGMP and Dot1x protocol, which have to be disabled globally.

Example:

Your Product(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel dot1x

l2protocol-tunnel cos

Command Objective:
This command configures the priority for the tunneled STP BPDUs. This value ranges from 0 to 7.
The no form of the command configures the default priority for the tunneled STP BPDUs.

Syntax:
l2protocol-tunnel cos <cos-value(0-7)>
no l2protocol-tunnel cos

Mode:
Global Configuration Mode / Switch Configuration Mode

Default:
cos - value - 7

Prerequisites:
The configured priority value will be effective only when the L2 Protocol tunnel STP is enabled on an interface

Example:

Your Product(config)# l2protocol-tunnel cos 5

l2protocol-tunnel override

Command Objective:
This command enables or disables the Layer 2 control protocol (L2CP) tunnel Override option.

Syntax:
l2protocol-tunnel override { enable | disable }

Parameter Description:

• enable - Enables L2CP tunnel Override option. This implies that tunnel status for all the Layer 2 control protocols is referred from the port table.
• disable - Disables L2CP tunnel Override option. This implies that tunnel status for all the Layer 2 control protocols operating over a vlan is referred from the VLAN table.

Mode:
Interface Configuration mode (Physical / Port channel)

Default:
disable

Example:

Your Product(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel override disable
