Configuring a Layer 2 Virtual Switch with a Layer 2 Trunk Port

You can associate one or more Layer 2 trunk interfaces with a virtual switch.

A virtual switch configured with a Layer 2 trunk port also supports IRB within a VLAN. IRB provides simultaneous support for Layer 2 bridging and Layer 3 IP routing on the same interface. Only an interface configured with the interface-mode (access | trunk) statement can be associated with a virtual switch. An access interface enables you to accept packets with no VLAN identifier.

In addition, you can configure Layer 2 learning and forwarding properties for the virtual switch.

To configure a virtual switch with a Layer 2 trunk interface, include the following statements:
