Ethernet Encapsulation for Layer 2 Switching Cross-Connects

For Ethernet circuits, specify ethernet-ccc in the encapsulation statement. This statement configures the entire physical device. For these circuits to work, you must also configure a logical interface (unit 0).

Ethernet interfaces with standard Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID) tagging can use Ethernet CCC encapsulation. On M-series routing platforms, except the M320, one-port Gigabit Ethernet, two-port Gigabit Ethernet, four-port Gigabit Ethernet, and four-port Fast Ethernet Physical Interface Cards (PICs) can use Ethernet CCC encapsulation. On T-series platforms and M320 routers, one-port Gigabit Ethernet and two-port Gigabit Ethernet PICs installed in FPC2 can use Ethernet CCC encapsulation. When you use this encapsulation type, you can configure the ccc family only.



fe-fpc/pic/port {

encapsulation ethernet-ccc;
unit 0;
}

You can include these statements at the following hierarchy levels:

[edit logical-systems logical-system-name interfaces]
