Configuring Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling
Configuring the Customer Switch
After configuring the SP edge switch, begin in privileged EXEC mode and follow these steps to
configure a customer switch for Layer 2 protocol tunneling for EtherChannels:
configure a customer switch for Layer 2 protocol tunneling for EtherChannels:
Use the no switchport mode trunk, the no udld enable, and the no channel group
channel-group-number mode desirable interface configuration commands to return the interface to the
default settings.
channel-group-number mode desirable interface configuration commands to return the interface to the
default settings.
For EtherChannels, you need to configure both the SP edge switches and the customer switches for
Layer 2 protocol tunneling. (See
Layer 2 protocol tunneling. (See
.)
This example shows how to configure the SP edge switch 1 and edge switch 2. VLANs 17, 18, 19, and 20
are the access VLANs, Fast Ethernet interfaces 1 and 2 are point-to-point tunnel ports with PAgP and
UDLD enabled, the drop threshold is 1000, and Fast Ethernet interface 3 is a trunk port.

SP edge switch 1 configuration:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 17
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode dot1q-tunnel
Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point pagp
Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point udld
Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel drop-threshold point-to-point pagp 1000
Switch(config-if)# exit
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/2
Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 18
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode dot1q-tunnel
Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point pagp
Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point udld
