You can configure transport tunnel
termination and encapsulation for a device.
About this task
You can associate transport tunnel termination with an ingress group. You can apply an ACL or
ingress policy based on the ingress group configuration (GRE and ERSPAN tunnel). For
more information, see Create an Ingress Group.
For traffic that leaves an Extreme 9920 device, you can associate transport
tunnel encapsulation with egress. For more information, see Create an Egress.
Procedure
-
In the Navigation menu, select
Configure.
-
In the Devices panel, select the
device for which you want to create a tunnel.
-

The options vary by the type you selected
in step
6.
- GRE
(Generic Routing Encapsulation). This type of tunnel encapsulates (or
wraps) packets that use a certain protocol inside packets that use a
different protocol.
- ERSPAN
(Encapsulated Remote Switched Port Analyzer): This type of tunnel
mirrors traffic from source ports for delivery to destination ports on a
different device.
-
In the Source IP field, enter the IP address of the
devices that sends the packets.
-
In the Destination IP field, enter the IP address of the
device that is to receive the packets.
-
Complete the following
fields.
The fields vary by the type you
selected in step
6.
- Source
MAC. The MAC address of the device that sends the
packets.
- Destination
MAC. The MAC address of the device that is to receive
the packets.
- VLAN Tag.
A numeric string that identifies which VLAN a packet belongs to.
- VLAN PCP.
The Priority Code Point, a 3-bit field in the VLAN header.
- Egress.
The egress to associate with the tunnel.
- Source
Prefix. The prefix of the IP address of the devices that
sends the packets, in CIDR notation format.
- Destination
Prefix. The prefix of the IP address of the device that
receives the packets, in CIDR notation format.
- Ingress
Groups. The ingress group to associate with the
tunnel.
