Configuring Interface Encapsulation on PTX Series Packet Transport Switches

This topic describes how to configure interface encapsulation on PTX Series Packet Transport Switches. Use the flexible-ethernet-services configuration statement to configure different encapsulation for different logical interfaces under a physical interface. With flexible Ethernet services encapsulation, you can configure each logical interface encapsulation without range restrictions for VLAN IDs.

Supported encapsulations for physical interfaces include:

  • flexible-ethernet-services
  • ethernet-ccc
  • ethernet-tcc

Supported encapsulations for logical interfaces include:

  • ENET2
  • vlan-ccc
  • vlan-tcc

Note: PTX Series Packet Transport Switches do not support extended-vlan-cc and extended-vlan-tcc encapsulation on logical interfaces. Instead, you can configure a tag protocol ID (TPID) value of 0x9100 to achieve the same results.

To configure flexible Ethernet services encapsulation, include the encapsulation flexible-ethernet-services statement at the [edit interfaces et-fpc/pic/port ] hierarchy level. For example:

interfaces {et-fpc/pic/port {vlan-tagging;encapsulation flexible-ethernet-services;unit 0 {vlan-id 1000;family inet {address 11.0.0.20/24;}}unit 1 {encapsulation vlan-ccc;vlan-id 1010;}unit 2 {encapsulation vlan-tcc;vlan-id 1020;family tcc {proxy {inet-address 11.0.2.160;}remote {inet-address 11.0.2.10;}}}}}
