Configuring Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling

Configuring the Customer Switch

After configuring the SP edge switch, begin in privileged EXEC mode and follow these steps to
configure a customer switch for Layer 2 protocol tunneling for EtherChannels:

Use the no switchport mode trunk, the no udld enable, and the no channel group
channel-group-number mode desirable interface configuration commands to return the interface to the
default settings.

For EtherChannels, you need to configure both the SP edge switches and the customer switches for
Layer 2 protocol tunneling. (See

Figure 17-6 on page 17-10

.)

This example shows how to configure the SP edge switch 1 and edge switch 2. VLANs 17, 18, 19, and 20
are the access VLANs, Fast Ethernet interfaces 1 and 2 are point-to-point tunnel ports with PAgP and
UDLD enabled, the drop threshold is 1000, and Fast Ethernet interface 3 is a trunk port.

SP edge switch 1 configuration:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/1

Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 17

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode dot1q-tunnel

Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point pagp

Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point udld

Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel drop-threshold point-to-point pagp 1000

Switch(config-if)# exit

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/2

Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 18

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode dot1q-tunnel

Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point pagp

Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point udld

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

interface interface-id

Enter the interface configuration mode. This should be the customer switch
port.

Step 3

switchport trunk encapsulation
dot1q

Set the trunking encapsulation format to IEEE 802.1Q.

Step 4

switchport mode trunk

Enable trunking on the interface.

Step 5

udld enable

Enable UDLD in normal mode on the interface.

Step 6

channel-group channel-group-number
mode desirable

Assign the interface to a channel group, and specify desirable for the PAgP
mode. For more information about configuring EtherChannels, see

Chapter 37, “Configuring EtherChannels and Link-State Tracking.”

Step 7

exit

Return to global configuration mode.

Step 8

interface port-channel port-channel
number

Enter port-channel interface mode.

Step 9

shutdown

Shut down the interface.

Step 10

no shutdown

Enable the interface.

Step 11

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 12

show l2protocol

Display the Layer 2 tunnel ports on the switch, including the protocols
configured, the thresholds, and the counters.

Step 13

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
