Description
Adds a TLS tunnel.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
This command adds a Transparent LAN Services (TLS) tunnel. There are two types of TLS tunnels that
can be configured: dynamic TLS tunnels, as defined by the martini-draft, and static TLS tunnels. A
dynamic TLS tunnel is configured by specifying a vcid and optionally the groupid that uniquely define
the tunnel at both tunnel endpoints. A static TLS tunnel is configured by statically defining the
ingress/egress tls-labels at each tunnel peer. Both TLS tunnel types may be configured on a switch
simultaneously.
The tunnel_name, ipaddress, and local_vlan_name parameters must be specified for either type of TLS
tunnel. The tunnel_name parameter is a character string that is to be used to identify the TLS tunnel
within the switch. The tunnel_name string must begin with an alphabetic character, and may contain
up to 31 additional alphanumeric characters. The TLS tunnel is used to transport layer-2 traffic across a
MPLS network. The layer-2 traffic is transported across a MPLS LSP using a two-level label stack. The
ipaddress parameter identifies the peer LSR that is the endpoint of the tunnel. This ipaddress should be
configured with a 32-bit prefix on the peer LSR. When the peer LSR is also an Extreme switch, then
either OSPF must also be enabled on the VLAN that the ipaddress is assigned to (using the config ospf
add vlan command on the peer switch), or the peer switch must be configured to distribute direct
routes into the OSPF domain (via the enable ospf export direct command). Note that the export
command should be used when the tunnel LSP needs to cross OSPF area boundaries or when ESRP is
tunnel_name Specifies a name used to identify the TLS tunnel within the switch.
[lsp <lsp_name> | <ipaddress> |
<host_name>] Identifies the peer LSR that is the tunnel endpoint. The DNS client must be
configured to use the <
host_name
>.
local_vlan_name Specifies a VLAN name that identifies the layer 2 traffic that is to be
transported.
tls-labels <ingress_label>
<egress_label> Identifies the innermost labels of the tunnel stack.
vcid Identifies the virtual circuit identifier. The
vcid
value is a non-zero, 32-bit
number.
groupid Identifies the logical VCID group number. The
groupid
is a 32-bit number. All
TLS tunnels that are members of the same TLS group ID can be withdrawn
simultaneously by specifying the
groupid
.
from <local_endpoint_ipaddress>
| <local_endpoint_vlan> Identifies the local endpoint of the TLS tunnel.
