Configuring the Interfaces for the Local Interface Switch

Local interface switching requires you to configure at least two interfaces:

Starting interface—Configure using the interface statement at the [edit protocols l2circuit local-switching] hierarchy level.
Ending interface—Configure using the end-interface statement at the [edit protocols l2circuit local-switching interface interface-name] hierarchy level.

You can also configure virtual circuit interface protection for each local interface:

Protect interface for the starting interface—Configure using the protect-interface statement at the [edit protocols l2circuit local-switching interface interface-name] hierarchy level.
Protect interface for the ending interface—Configure using the protect-interface statement at the [edit protocols l2circuit local-switching interface interface-name end-interface] hierarchy level.

For more information on how to configure protect interfaces, see Configuring the Protect Interface.
