3.22.2 L2CP
L2CP stands for Layer 2 Control Protocol and contains Ethernet control protocols such as Spanning Tree BPDUs, LACP,
Pause frames, etc. A L2CP frame has a specific destination address (DA) belonging to reserved multicast MAC address
ranges. MEF defines L2CP processing rules for Ethernet Frames carrying a MAC destination address (DA) within the
range of 01-80-C2-00-00-00 through 01-80-C2-00-00-0F and 01-80-C2-00-00-20 through 01-80-C2-00-00-2F. Therefore,
if a vendor defines L2CP frames outside the specified MAC DA ranges, the L2CP handling rules do not apply to these
frames.
DMAC:
The destination MAC address. The MAC DA range for Bridge block of protocol is 01-80-C2-00-00-00 through
01-80-C2-00-00-0F and for GARP block of protocol is 01-80-C2-00-00-20 through 01-80-C2-00-00-2F.
L2CP Mode:
Select the L2CP frame handling mode for the corresponding destination MAC address (DMAC).
Peer:
Redirect to CPU to allow peering/tunneling/discard depending on ECE and protocol configuration.
Forward:
Allow peering/forwarding/tunneling/discarding depending on ECE and protocol configuration.
