Configuring IEEE 802.1Q and Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling

Example: Configuring Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling

Switch(config-if)#switchport access vlan 22

%Access VLAN does not exist. Creating vlan 22 Switch(config-if)# switchport mode dot1q-tunnelSwitch(config-if)# exit

Switch(config)# vlan dot1q tag native Switch(config)# end

Switch# show dot1q-tunnel interface gigabitethernet1/0/7 Port

-----

Gi1/0/1Port

-----

Switch# show vlan dot1q tag native dot1q native vlan tagging is enabled

Example: Configuring Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling

The following example shows how to configure Layer 2 protocol tunneling for CDP, STP, and VTP and to verify the configuration.

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/11

Switch(config-if)#l2protocol-tunnel cdp

Switch(config-if)#l2protocol-tunnel stp

Switch(config-if)#l2protocol-tunnel vtp

Switch(config-if)#l2protocol-tunnel shutdown-threshold 1500

Switch(config-if)#l2protocol-tunnel drop-threshold 1000

Switch(config-if)# exit

Switch(config)# l2protocol-tunnel cos 7

Switch(config)# end

Switch# show l2protocol
