Ethernet Encapsulation for Layer 2 Switching TCCs

Specify the encapsulation type for Ethernet TCC circuits in the encapsulation statement. This statement configures the entire physical device. You must also specify a proxy address and a remote address statically at the [edit interfaces interface-name unit unit-number family tcc] hierarchy level.

The difference between the remote address and the proxy address is that the former is associated with the TCC switching router’s Ethernet neighbor and the latter is associated with the TCC router’s other neighbor connected by the unlike link. The remote statement requires that you configure both the IP address and the media access control (MAC) address for the Ethernet neighbor. The proxy statement requires the IP address for the non-Ethernet neighbor.

One-port Gigabit Ethernet, two-port Gigabit Ethernet, four-port Gigabit Ethernet, and four-port Fast Ethernet PICs can use Ethernet TCC encapsulation.

Configure Ethernet circuits for TCC as follows:



interfaces 

ethernet-interface- type-fpc/pic/port {

encapsulation ethernet-tcc;


unit 0 {


family tcc {


proxy {
inet-address address;
}




remote {
inet-address address;
mac-address mac-address;
}


}


}


}

You can configure these statements at the following hierarchy levels:

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

For Ethernet circuits, you also need to configure the ARP. See ARP Configuration for Ethernet TCC Encapsulations.
