Configuring the Encapsulation Type for the Layer 2 Circuit Neighbor Interface
You can specify the Layer 2 circuit encapsulation type for the interface receiving traffic from a Layer 2 circuit neighbor. The encapsulation type is carried in the LDP-signaling messages exchanged between Layer 2 circuit neighbors when pseudowires are created. The encapsulation type you configure for each Layer 2 circuit neighbor varies depending on the type of networking equipment or the type of Layer 2 protocol you have deployed in your network. If you do not specify an encapsulation type for the Layer 2 circuit, the encapsulation of the CE device interface is used by default.
Specify the encapsulation type for the Layer 2 circuit neighbor interface by including the encapsulation-type statement:
You can include this statement at the [edit protocols l2circuit neighbor address interface interface-name] hierarchy levels:
