Configure an SPBM Layer 2 Switched UNI on an MLT

Shortest Path Bridging MAC (SPBM) supports Layer 2 Virtual Service Network (VSN) functionality where Switched UNIs are bridged over the SPBM core infrastructure.

Switched User Network Interface (S-UNI) allows the association of local endpoints to I-SIDs based on local port and VLAN together. With Switched UNI, the same VLAN can be used on one port to create an endpoint to one I-SID, and on another port to create an endpoint to another I-SID.

Before you begin

  • You must configure the required SPBM and IS-IS infrastructure.

About this task

To configure a Switched UNI on an MLT, you must create a Switched UNI I-SID, and map an MLT to the Switched UNI I-SID.

Note

Note

When you configure Switched UNI, Spanning tree is disabled on all the Switched UNI ports.

Procedure

  1. Enter MLT Interface Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

    interface mlt <1-512>

  2. Enable S-UNI on MLT:
    flex-uni enable
    Note

    Note

    You cannot enable Switched UNI on EAPoL enabled interface.

  3. Configure a Switched UNI Service Instance Identifier (I-SID):

    i-sid <1–16777215> [elan]

    This command automatically takes you to the Elan I-SID Configuration mode.

  4. Add an MLT to a Switched UNI I-SID:

    c-vid <c-vid> mlt <1–512>

    Note

    Note

    You can run this command again to map a Switched UNI MLT to multiple I-SIDs.

  5. Add untagged traffic to a Switched UNI I-SID:

    untagged—traffic mlt <1–512> [bpdu enable]

  6. Display the Switched UNI information:

    show mlt i-sid

Example

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Switch:1(config)#mlt 10
Switch:1(config)#interface mlt 10
Switch:1(config-mlt)#flex-uni enable
Switch:1(config-mlt)#i-sid 100
Switch:1(elan:100)#c-vid 20 mlt 10
Switch:1(elan:100)#untagged-traffic mlt 10 bpdu enable
Switch:1(elan:100)#show mlt i-sid

Variable definitions

The following table defines parameters for the i-sid command to configure a Switched UNI.

Variable

Value

i-sid <1–16777215> elan

Creates an Elan based service. The service interface identifier (I-SID) range is 1 to 16777215.

c-vid <c-vid> mlt <mlt-id>

Specifies the customer VLAN ID. Different hardware platforms support different customer VLAN ID ranges. Use the CLI Help to see the available range for the switch.

untagged-traffic mlt <mlt-id> [bpdu enable]

Add untagged traffic to the Elan-based service.
