Description

Configure Ethernet switching protocol family information for the logical interface. Changes default Layer 2 forwarding behavior.

The remaining statements are explained separately. See CLI Explorer.

Default

You must configure a logical interface to be able to use the physical device.

Options

  • block-non-ip-all—Block all Layer 2 non-IP and non-ARP traffic, including multicast and broadcast traffic.

  • bpdu-vlan-flooding—Set 802.1D bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) flooding based on VLAN on which BPDU originate. The default behavior is to receive BPDUs and then flood BPDUs out to all active ports on the SRX Series Firewalls.

  • bypass-non-ip-unicast—Allow all Layer 2 non-IP traffic to pass through the device.

  • no-packet-flooding—Stop IP flooding and send ARP or ICMP requests to discover the destination MAC address for a unicast packet.

    Note:

    On all SRX Series Firewalls in transparent mode, packet flooding is enabled by default. If you have manually disabled packet flooding with the set security flow ethernet-switching no-packet-flooding command, then multicast packets such as OSPFv3 hello packets are dropped.

    • no-trace-route—Do not send ICMP requests to discover the destination MAC address for a unicast packet. Only ARP requests are sent. This option only allows the device to discover the destination MAC address for a unicast packet if the destination IP address is in the same subnetwork as the ingress IP address.

Note:

The block-non-ip-all and bypass-non-ip-unicast options cannot be configured at the same time.
