Configuring L2CP

This document describes the Layer 2 Control Protocol (L2CP) feature and configuration steps to implement L2CP.

Prerequisites for Configuring L2CP

  • NID must be added to the controller.

  • NID must be accessible from the controller.

  • NID must have an IP address.

Restrictions for Configuring L2CP

  • When committing multiple lists, the list in previous commit is not retained. Example: a peer list 16-18 in a previous commit is replaced by a new commit of peer list 21.

    To retain multiple lists, you must specify the lists in a single commit. Example: peer list 16-18,21.

  • Any L2CP processing configured using forward/peer/discard modes applies to all EVCs on the port.

  • Provisioning L2CP in tunnel mode is not supported. You cannot prevent core switches from processing frame as a L2CP frame in a service provider network.

  • To delete a previously configured discardList, you must configure discard discardList command with no before you commit the command. Otherwise, by default the previously configured value is retained.

    Example: 

    setL2CPPortConfig l2cpPortConfiguration portNumber 6 
setL2CPPortConfig l2cpPortConfiguration discard discardList no

Information About L2CP

L2CP addresses the requirement for a bidirectional, IP- based protocol that operates across a number of access and aggregation network technologies such as Ethernet. The L2CP message exchange conveys status and control information between access devices and one or more other devices that require the information for executing local functions.

L2CP handling is required for edge switches providing Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs) in a service provider network.

In this case, UCS Controller and NID are used to establish an EVC between UNI ports of two Customer Premise Equipment (CPE).

The following options are available to provision L2CP on NID:

  • Forward—The L2CP frame is forwarded to the network port like other layer 2 frames in the EVC.

  • Peer—The L2CP frame is processed by a local protocol entity and is not forwarded.

  • Discard—The L2CP frame is discarded.

The following figure shows the topology used for provisioning L2CP on NIDs using the UCS Controller.

Figure 1. L2CP Topology

Configuring L2CP Using a UCS Controller

     Command or ActionPurpose
    Step 1ConfigureNID


    Example: 
    UCS# Configure NID 1
     

    Opens a new session for NID 1.

     
    Step 2ProvisionL2CPPortType


    Example: 
    UCS# ProvisionL2CPPortType
          		Enters the ProvisionL2CPPortType mode.  
    Step 3ProvisionL2CPPortType {default | exit | getL2CPPortConfig | no | setL2CPPortConfig}


    Example: 
    UCS# ProvisionL2CPPortType
          		Sub-command options.
    • default—Sets a command to its defaults.
    • exit—Exits from ProvisionL2CPPortType sub configuration mode.
    • getL2CPPortConfig—Retrieves current L2CP configuration request.
    • no—Negates a command or set its defaults.
    • setL2CPPortConfig—Configures L2CP forward on EVCs on this port.
     
    Step 4getL2CPPortConfig l2cpPortl2cpPort_number


    Example: 
    UCS(ProvisionL2CPPortType)# getL2CPPortConfig l2cpPort 5
          		Retrieves initial or default L2CP configuration.
    • l2cpPort—Specifies L2CP port configuration request.
    • l2cpPort_number—L2CP port number. The valid range is from 1 to 6.
     
    Step 5setL2CPPortConfig l2cpPortConfiguration {enabled | portNumber portNumber | discard {discardListdiscardList_range} | forward {forwardListforwardList_range} | peer {peerListpeerList_range}}


    Example: 
    UCS(ProvisionL2CPPortType)# setL2CPPortConfig l2cpPortConfiguration portNumber 5
UCS(ProvisionL2CPPortType)# setL2CPPortConfig l2cpPortConfiguration enabled enable
          		Sets up L2CP forward/peer/discard configuration request on all EVCs on this port.
    • enabled—Specifies L2CP configuration enabled/disabled on this port.
    • portNumber—Specifies port number to configure L2CP.
    • portNumber—Port number to configure L2CP. The valid range is from 1 to 6.

    Step 6setL2CPPortConfig review


    Example: 
    UCS(L2CPPortType)# setL2CPPortConfig review
          		(Optional) Displays the configuration.  
    Step 7setL2CPPortConfig flush


    Example: 
    UCS(L2CPPortType)# setL2CPPortConfig flush
          		(Optional) Flushes the configuration.  
    Step 8setL2CPPortConfig commit


    Example: 
    UCS(L2CPPortType)# setL2CPPortConfig commit
          		Sends the configuration to NID.  
    Step 9getL2CPPortConfig l2cpPort l2cpPort_number


    Example: 
    UCS(ProvisionL2CPPortType)# getL2CPPortConfig l2cpPort 5
          		Retrieves current L2CP configuration for a specified port.
    • l2cpPort—Specifies L2CP port configuration request.
    • l2cpPort_number—L2CP port number. The valid range is from 1 to 6.
     
    Step 10getL2CPPortConfig review
