layer2-protocol-tunneling

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Enable Layer 2 protocol tunneling (L2PT) on a VLAN on switches that do not use the the Enhanced Layer 2 Software (ELS) configuration style (which includes EX2200, EX3300, EX4200, EX4500, and EX4450 switches).

Note:

This command is not available on switches that use ELS configuration style (including EX2300, EX3400, EX4300, EX4600, EX9200, and any QFX Series switches that support L2PT). On those switches, you enable L2PT using the protocol statement at the [edit protocols layer2-control mac-rewrite interface interface-name] hierarchy level. See Configuring Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling.

For details on ELS, see Using the Enhanced Layer 2 Software CLI.

The remaining statements are explained separately. See CLI Explorer.
