Once the profile is created, the configure service l2profile command is used to change processing selec-
tions for a specified protocol. For example, the following commands configure the “no-stp-gvrp” profile to
discard STP and GVRP frames that ingress on the port to which the profile is assigned:
tions for a specified protocol. For example, the following commands configure the “no-stp-gvrp” profile to
discard STP and GVRP frames that ingress on the port to which the profile is assigned:
-> configure service l2profile no-stp-gvrp stp discard
-> configure service l2profile no-stp-gvrp gvrp discard
Consider the following when configuring Layer 2 profiles:
• The tunnel, discard, and peer options are not supported for all protocol types. Use the following table
to determine the supported processing options for a specific protocol:
• When a profile is created, the new profile inherits the default profile settings for processing control
frames. The default settings are applied with the new profile unless they are explicitly changed. For
example, the profile “no-stp-gvrp” was configured to discard STP and GVRP frames. No other proto-
col settings were changed, so the default settings still apply for the other protocols.

col settings were changed, so the default settings still apply for the other protocols.
• Remove any profile associations with access ports before attempting to modify or delete the profile.
To delete a Layer 2 profile, use the no form of the configure service l2profile command. For example,
the following command deletes the “no-stp-gvrp” profile:
the following command deletes the “no-stp-gvrp” profile:
-> configure service no l2profile no-stp-gvrp
Use the
command to view a list of profiles that are already configured for the
switch. This command also displays the attribute values for each profile.
Associate Layer 2 Profiles with Access Ports
After a Layer 2 profile is created, it is then necessary to associate the profile with an access port or link
aggregate. When this is done, the current profile associated with the port is replaced with the new profile.
aggregate. When this is done, the current profile associated with the port is replaced with the new profile.
command is used to associate a new profile with an access port. For
example, the following command associates the “no-stp-gvrp” profile to access port 1/4:
-> configure service port 1/4 l2profile no-stp-gvrp
To change the profile associated with the access port back to the default profile (def-access-profile), use
the default option with the configure service port l2profile command. For example:
the default option with the configure service port l2profile command. For example:
-> configure service port 1/4 l2profile default
Use the
