tunnel

bridge

Enables tunneling of unicast messages, to unknown MAC destinations, on the selected VLAN bridge

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Access Points — AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h
  • Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000

Syntax

tunnel [rate-limit|unknown-unicast]
tunnel rate-limit level2 rate <50-1000000> max-burst-size <2-1024> {red-threshold [background <0-100>|best-effort <0-100>|video <0-100>|voice <0-100>]}
tunnel unknown-unicast

Parameters

tunnel rate-limit level2 rate <50-1000000> max-burst-size <2-1024> {red-threshold [background <0-100>|best-effort <0-100>|video <0-100>|voice <0-100>]}
tunnel rate-limit level2 rate <50-1000000> max-burst-size <2-1024> Configures a rate-limit parameters (max-burst-size and rate) for tunneled VLAN traffic over level 2 MiNT links
  • rate – Optional. Configures the data rate, in kilobits per second, for the incoming and outgoing extended VLAN traffic tunneled over MiNT level 2 links
    • <50-1000000> – Specify a value from 50 - 1000000 Kbps. The default is 5000 Kbps.
  • max-burst-size – Optional. Configures the maximum burst size
    • <2-1024> – Specify the maximum burst size from 2 - 1024 kbytes. The default is 320 kbytes.

After specifying the max-burst-size, optionally specify the red-threshold value for the different traffic types. The red-threshold is configured as a % of the specified max-burst-size.

  • red-threshold – Optional. Configures the random early detection (red) threshold for the different traffic types
    • background – Configures the red-threshold for low priority traffic from 0 - 100. The default is 50% of the specified max-burst-size.
    • best-effort – Configures the red-threshold for normal priority traffic from 0 - 100. The default is 50% of the specified max-burst-size.
    • video – Configures the red-threshold for video traffic from 0 - 100. The default is 25% of the specified max-burst-size.
    • voice – Configures the red-threshold for voice traffic from 0 - 100. The default is 0% of the specified max-burst-size.
