29.1.1 Layer-2 Protocol Tunneling Mode
Each port can have two layer-2 protocol tunneling modes, Access and Tunnel.
• The Access port is an ingress port on the service provider's edge device (1 or 2
in Figure 138 on page 292 ) and connected to a customer switch (A or B).
Incoming layer-2 protocol packets received on an access port are encapsulated
and forwarded to the tunnel ports.
• The Tunnel port is an egress port at the edge of the service provider's network
and connected to another service provider’s switch. Incoming encapsulated
layer-2 protocol packets received on a tunnel port are decapsulated and sent to
an access port.
