Associate a Port and MLT with an I-SID for ELAN Transparent

Transparent Port UNI (T-UNI) maps a port or MLT to an I-SID. Transparent Port UNI configures a transparent port where all traffic is MAC switched on an internal virtual port using the assigned I-SID. Multiple ports on the same unit and on other Backbone Edge Bridges (BEBs) are switched on a common I-SID. No VLAN is involved in this process. The T-UNI port is not a member of any VLAN or STG.

Use the following procedure to associate a port and MLT with an I-SID.

Before you begin

  • You must configure Transparent Port UNI. For more information, see Configuring Transparent UNI.

  • You must associate a T-UNI LACP MLT with a VLAN before mapping the LACP MLT to a T-UNI I-SID.

    Caution

    Caution

    Ensure that a T-UNI LACP MLT is always associated with a VLAN (even if it is the default VLAN) before adding it to a T-UNI I-SID. Otherwise, traffic is not forwarded on the T-UNI LACP MLT.
