26. Configuring Layer 2 Tunnels
Revision 1.14.3 239 RX1000/RX1100™
This menu configures a generic layer 2 tunnel.
The Ethernet Interface field configures suitable network interfaces to listen on for L2 Ethernet frames
of the specified type. You may set this field to "none" if the intent is simply to relay encapsulated traffic
between remote tunnel endpoints.
The Add Ethernet Type field configures the predefined Ethernet type code that specifies the layer
2 traffic that is to be tunneled. If the desired Ethernet type is not in the predefined list, select Other,
and enter the type code in the Others field:
The Others field configures any Ethernet type code that is not predefined in the list box described
above. Note that the Ethernet type code must be in hexadecimal format. (e.g. 0x8037 for Novell
Netware IPX, etc.)
Add a new Daemon fields specify the tunnel egress, which may be a local Ethernet interface or the IP
addresses of a remote daemon. Several endpoints may be added with these fields using successive
edits of the tunnel configuration.
The Replace Sender's MAC address option signals the daemon at the tunnel egress to replace the
sender's Ethernet MAC address in tunneled frames with the MAC address of output Ethernet interface.
By default, the source MAC address of all tunneled frames remain intact.
Figure 26.7. Edit Generic L2 Tunnel
The menu to edit a Generic L2 Tunnel configuration adds only two fields to the creation menu
described above. The existing list of configured Ethernet Types for the tunnel and a list of Remote
Daemon items. Note that in this context a Remote Daemon may be either the IP address of a remote
daemon or the name of a local Ethernet interface.
