configure l2pt profile add profile

configure l2pt profile profile_name add protocol filter filter_name {action [tunnel {cos cos} {dscp dscp_value {replace}} | encapsulate | none]}

Description

Adds an entry to an L2PT profile.

Syntax Description

profile profile_name Specifies the profile that defines L2PT configuration for L2 protocols.
add protocol filter filter_name Adds the specified Layer 2 protocol filter.
action Specifies the action to perform on PDUs of the protocol (the default value is tunnel).
tunnel Specifies to tunnel PDUs through the network.
cos cos Specifies to override the class of service for tunneled PDUs, and specifies the class of service value to use for tunneling PDUs.
dscp Specifies to set DSCP in the outer IP header when tunneled over VXLAN network.
dscp_value Specifies the DSCP value to use in the outer IP header when the inner IP header is not present or when the replace is specified (default is 0). Range is 0-63.
replace Specifies to replace the DSCP in the outer IP header with the configured value (default is do not replace, copy the inner DSCP to the outer header).
encapsulate Specifies to encapsulate PDUs at egress, and decapsulate L2PT packets at ingress.
none Specifies to not participate in tunneling for this protocol.

Default

Disabled.

The default dscp_value is 0.

The default replace is to not replace the DSCP.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to add an entry to an L2PT profile.

Example

The following example adds an entry to my_l2pt_prof to tunnel protocols in "mylistt" at cos 2:

configure l2pt profile my_l2pt_prof add protocol filter mylist action tunnel cos 2 

The following example adds an entry to my_l2pt_prof to encapsulate/decapsulate protocols in "mylist":

configure l2pt profile my_l2pt_prof add protocol filter mylist action encapsulate

The following example adds an entry to my_l2pt_prof that is in use by 2 services:

configure l2pt profile my_l2pt_prof add protocol filter mylist

The following example configures a DSCP value to be set in the outer IP header when the inner DSCP is not present:

configure l2pt profile "vxlan_cdp" add protocol filter cdp action tunnel dscp 2

The following example copies the inner DSCP to the outer header when the inner DSCP is present:

configure l2pt profile "vxlan_cdp" add protocol filter cdp action tunnel dscp 3

The following example overrides the outer DSCP (even if the inner DSCP is present):

configure l2pt profile "vxlan_cdp" add protocol filter cdp action tunnel dscp 2 replace
