[c-nsp] VPLS ASR1k - ME3800 - no L2 tunnelling ?

[Adam Vitkovsky]

Hi Chris,

I have just found this in the config guide:

EFPs and Layer 2 Protocols. 

On the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router, EFPs treat the protocol data units (PDUs) of Layer 2 protocols as data frames. PDUs are forwarded as data frames. 

Layer 2 protocols include Cisco Discovery Protocol, Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP), Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP), Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD), and VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP). 


-to me this looks like it should be doing that automatically. 
-so maybe that's why none of the l2prot commands are accepted. 

Would you please issue the cmd:
"show ethernet service instance id 100 interface gigabitethernet0/0/5 detail"
 - to see whether the L2protocol is drop or tunnel?

Hi Adam,

  Found these yesterday but all error out:

ASR1004(config)#int gig0/0/7
ASR1004(config-if)#service instance 100 ethernet ASR1004(config-if-srv)#l2protocol tunnel l2protocol action not supported

  On the vfi:

ASR1004(config-vfi)#l2 vfi test1 manual
ASR1004(config-vfi)#forward permit l2protocol all % % Command rejected - BPDU pseudowire config not allowed

  On the interface I have:

ASR1004(config-if)#l2protocol peer
  L2protocol processing is supported only on service instance and not on the interface




Thanks

Chris
