Configure VN-Tag Stripping

Follow this procedure to strip VN tags to support the encapsulation type expected by your traffic-analysis tools.

About this task

• The vn-tag cannot be enabled if the br-tag is already enabled in the same listener policy.

Note

In the examples that follow the configuration commands for this task, bold font is used to show the relationship between the items you configure and then bind. The example parameters and optional settings are only a partial set of those available. See the Extreme 9920 Software Command Reference, 21.1.0.0 for more information.

1. Run the configure terminal command to access Config mode.
   The command line changes to configuration mode.

   

   device(config)# 

2. Configure an ACL of type IPv4, IPv6, or MAC and any actions.
   ip access-list acl-name

   The specified ACL and configured actions will be bound to a listener policy.

   

   device(config)# ipv6 access-list acl2-ipv6
   device(config-ipv6-acl)# seq 9 permit ipv6 any any count

3. Create the listener policy, including any action subcommands for the policy.
   

   Note

   A listener policy supports only one of each of each ACL type: IP, IPv6, MAC .
   listener-policy name seq

   

   device(config)# listener-policy lp-11 43
   device(config-listener-policy)# match ipv6 access-list acl2-ipv6
   device(config-listener-policy)# strip vn-tag
   device(config-listener-policy)# description "LP for vn tag strippin ipv6"

4. Configure an egress policy, and bind the listener policy, specifying any additional egress actions.
   

   Note

   An egress can be associated with only one listener policy.
   egress name

   

   device(config)# egress e7
   device(config-egress)# set listener-policy lp-11 43
   device(config-egress)# precedence 1 interface ethernet 2/14

5. Configure an egress group and associate it with the egress policy.
   egress-group group-name

   

   device(config)# egress-group eg_9 
   device(config-egress-group)# description e-group_9
   device(config-egress-group)# set egress e7

6. Configure the route map and set any other parameters, such as forwarding actions, match ip access list, and the egress-group.
   

   Note

   A route-map policy supports only one match-ACL per layer.
   route-map map-name seq

   

   device(config)# route-map R4 10 
   device(config-route-map)# match ipv6 access-list acl2-ipv6
   device(config-route-map)# set egress-group eg_9
   device(config-route-map)# forward-action permit

7. Configure an ingress group and associate a route map.
   

   Note

   An ingress group can be associated with only one route map.
   ingress-group group-name

   

   device(config)# ingress-group TAP_TRAFFIC_2
   device(config-ingress-group)# set route-map R4

8. Configure the interface port and channel for ingress traffic.
   interface slot / port-number

   

   Note

   In the following example, traffic is coming in on slot/port-number 2/3.

   

   interface ethernet 1/3
   description From_TAP
   set ingress-group TAP_TRAFFIC_2
   no shutdown

9. Configure the interface port and channel for egress traffic.
   interface slot / port-number

   

   Note

   In the following example, traffic is leaving on slot/port-number 2/14.

   

   interface ethernet 2/14
   description To_Tool
   no shutdown
