Configuring the Customer Switch

Configuring IEEE 802.1Q and Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 13	show l2protocol	Displays the Layer 2 tunnel ports on the switch, including the protocols
		configured, the thresholds, and the counters.
	Example:
	Switch)# show l2protocol
Step 14	copy running-config startup-config	(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
	Example:
	Switch# copy running-config
	startup-config

Before You Begin

For EtherChannels, you need to configure both the SP edge switches and the customer switches for Layer 2 protocol tunneling.
