Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure Layer 2 control protocols to enable features such as Layer 2 protocol tunneling (L2PT) and nonstop bridging.

You can't configure the l2pt and mac-rewrite child statements for the same interface at the same time.

  • The l2pt child statement enables L2PT transparency over destination encapsulation tunnel types on the device (such as VXLAN tunnels).

  • The mac-rewrite child statement enables standard L2PT for interfaces that are not encapsulation tunnel interfaces, and uses MAC rewrite operations. You can configure a destination MAC address using the tunnel-destination-mac destination-mac-address option.

Options

ephemeral-db-support (Junos OS only) Enable users to configure Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), or VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol (VSTP) in the ephemeral configuration database.
nonstop-bridging For details on configuring nonstop-bridging, see the Junos OS High Availability User Guide. When you configure this statement on routing platforms with two Routing Engines, a primary Routing Engine switches over gracefully to a backup Routing Engine and preserves Layer 2 Control Protocol (L2CP) information.

The remaining statements are explained separately. Search for a statement in CLI Explorer or click a linked statement in the Syntax section for details.
