Chapter 17 Configuring IEEE 802.1Q and Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling
Configuring Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling
Configuring the Customer Switch
After configuring the SP edge switch, begin in privileged EXEC mode and follow these steps to
configure a customer switch for Layer 2 protocol tunneling for EtherChannels:
Use the
no switchport mode trunk
, the
no udld enable
, and the
no channel group
channel-group-number
mode
desirable
interface configuration commands to return the interface to the
default settings.
For EtherChannels, you need to configure both the SP edge switches and the customer switches for
Layer 2 protocol tunneling. (See
This example shows how to configure the SP edge switch 1 and edge switch 2. VLANs 17, 18, 19, and 20
are the access VLANs, Fast Ethernet interfaces 1 and 2 are point-to-point tunnel ports with PAgP and
UDLD enabled, the drop threshold is 1000, and Fast Ethernet interface 3 is a trunk port.
SP edge switch 1 configuration:
Switch(config)#
interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
Switch(config-if)#
switchport access vlan 17
Switch(config-if)#
switchport mode dot1q-tunnel
Switch(config-if)#
l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point pagp
Switch(config-if)#
l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point udld
Switch(config-if)#
l2protocol-tunnel drop-threshold point-to-point pagp 1000
Switch(config-if)#
exit
Switch(config)#
interface gigabitethernet1/0/2
Switch(config-if)#
switchport access vlan 18
Switch(config-if)#
switchport mode dot1q-tunnel
Switch(config-if)#
l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point pagp
Switch(config-if)#
l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point udld
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface
interface-id
Enter the interface configuration mode. This should be the customer switch
port.
Step 3
switchport trunk encapsulation
dot1q
Set the trunking encapsulation format to IEEE 802.1Q.
Step 4
switchport mode trunk
Enable trunking on the interface.
Step 5
udld enable
Enable UDLD in
normal
mode on the interface.
Step 6
channel-group
channel-group-number
mode
desirable
Assign the interface to a channel group, and specify
desirable
for the PAgP
mode. For more information about configuring EtherChannels, see
Chapter 37, “Configuring EtherChannels and Link-State Tracking.”
Step 7
exit
Return to global configuration mode.
Step 8
interface port-channe
l
port-channel
number
Enter port-channel interface mode.
Step 9
shutdown
Shut down the interface.
Step 10
no shutdown
Enable the interface.
Step 11
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 12
show l2protocol
Display the Layer 2 tunnel ports on the switch, including the protocols
configured, the thresholds, and the counters.
Step 13
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
