Command History
Usage Guidelines
You can enter a keyword to identify a Layer 2 control protocol. If you do not enter a protocol, all Layer 2
control protocols are peered or tunneled.
Although you can configure DTP and VTP peering, this has no effect because the switch does not
support these protocols.
peer
Configures the EFP to allow Layer 2 protocols to peer with a neighboring switch on an
EFP-enabled interface. PDUs are processed locally.
tunnel
Configures the EFP to tunnel Layer 2 control packets. Overwrites the PDU-destination
MAC address with a well known Cisco propritary multicast address (01-00-0c-cd-cd-d0)
cdp
(Optional) Specifies that the switch peer or tunnel Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)
