Configuring the Neighbor Interface for the Layer 2 Circuit

Each Layer 2 circuit is represented by the logical interface connecting the local provider edge (PE) router to the local customer edge (CE) router. This interface is tied to the Layer 2 circuit neighbor configured in Configuring the Address for the Neighbor of the Layer 2 Circuit.

To configure the interface for a Layer 2 circuit neighbor, include the interface statement:

interface interface-name {bandwidth (bandwidth | ctnumber bandwidth);community community-name;(control-word | no-control-word);description text;encapsulation-type type;ignore-encapsulation-mismatch;ignore-mtu-mismatch;mtu mtu-number;no-revert;protect-interface interface-name;pseudowire-status-tlv;psn-tunnel-endpoint address;virtual-circuit-id identifier;}

You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:
