Configuring the Neighbor Interface for the Layer 2 Circuit

Each Layer 2 circuit is represented by the logical interface connecting the local provider edge (PE) router to the local customer edge (CE) router. This interface is tied to the Layer 2 circuit neighbor configured in Configuring the Address for the Neighbor of the Layer 2 Circuit.

To configure the interface for a Layer 2 circuit neighbor, include the interface statement:

interface interface-name {

bandwidth (bandwidth | ctnumber bandwidth);

community community-name;

(control-word | no-control-word);

description text;

encapsulation-type type;

ignore-encapsulation-mismatch;

ignore-mtu-mismatch;

mtu mtu-number;

no-revert;

protect-interface interface-name;
