DESCRIPTION

Active

Select this to enable layer 2 protocol tunneling on the Switch.

 

 

Destination

Specify a MAC address with which the Switch uses to encapsulate the

MAC Address

layer 2 protocol packets by replacing the destination MAC address in the

 

packets.

 

Note: The MAC address can be either a unicast MAC address or

 

multicast MAC address. If you use a unicast MAC address,

 

make sure the MAC address does not exist in the address

 

table of a switch on the service provider’s network.

 

Note: All the edge switches in the service provider’s network should

 

be set to use the same MAC address for encapsulation.
