l2protocol dot1q-tunnel-mac

Specifies the multicast MAC address for Q-in-Q BPDU tunneling.
Syntax
l2protocol dot1q-tunnel-mac { mac-address | original }
no l2protocol dot1q-tunnel-mac { mac-address | original }
Command Default

The default MAC value is 0100.0ccd.cdd1.

Parameters
mac-address
Specifies the tunnel MAC address.
original
Specifies to use the original MAC address in the packet as tunnel MAC address.
Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The original MAC address can be used as an option to interoperate with older ICX 6xxx series devices.

The original option must not be used if the transit switch in the service provider network is an ICX 6xxx device or any vendor that consumes standard BPDU as it may result in protocol packet drop.

Both Server Provider Edge switches must have the same tunnel MAC address.

The no form of the command sets the multicast MAC address for Q-in-Q BPDU tunneling to the default value.

Examples

The following example sets the multicast MAC address for Q-in-Q BPDU tunneling.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# l2protocol dot1q-tunnel-mac 0100.1a2b.3c4d
