Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure Layer 2 control protocols to enable features such as Layer 2 protocol tunneling or nonstop bridging.

You can configure destination MAC address using tunnel-destination-mac <destination mac address>.

Note:

For a detailed description of configuring the nonstop-bridging statement, see the Junos OS High Availability User Guide. When you configure this statement on routing platforms with two Routing Engines, a primary Routing Engine switches over gracefully to a backup Routing Engine and preserves Layer 2 Control Protocol (L2CP) information.

Options

ephemeral-db-support (Junos OS only) Enable users to configure Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), or VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol (VSTP) in the ephemeral configuration database.

The remaining statements are explained separately. Search for a statement in CLI Explorer or click a linked statement in the Syntax section for details.
