Configures the local switching mode for a bridge domain.
Local switching is enabled.
Bridge-domain configuration mode.
This feature is supported only on devices based on the DNX chipset family. For a list of such devices, see "Supported Hardware".
Local switching allows packets to be switched within a VPLS bridge domain. This command only applies to multipoint-service bridge domains; that is, bridge domains configured with the p2mp option.
The no form of the command disables local switching in a VPLS bridge domain.
To avoid receipt of traffic with different VLAN tags on local endpoints in a bridge domain that has a PW profile with VC mode set to raw-passthrough, it is recommended that local switching is disabled. Raw passthorugh mode is designed to forward packets between two VPLS peer devices and is not intended for use with local switching.
The following example disables local switching in VPLS bridge domain 10.
device# configure terminal device(config)# bridge-domain 10 device(config-bridge-domain-10)# no local-switching
