Description
Adds a Transparent LAN Services (TLS) tunnel.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A
Usage Guidelines
This command adds a Transparent LAN Services (TLS) tunnel. Two types of TLS tunnels 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 identifies 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 an MPLS network. The Layer 2 traffic is
transported across an MPLS LSP using a two-level label stack. The
ipaddress
parameter identifies the
peer LSR that is the endpoint of the tunnel. This IP address 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 configure 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
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TLS tunnels that are members of the same TLS group ID can be withdrawn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.
