Transparent forwarding of L2 and L3 protocols on a VLL for CES and CER
1
Transparent forwarding of L2 and L3 protocols on a VLL for CES and
CER
Use the forward-all-protocol command to add per port Layer 2 and Layer 3 (L2/L3) protocols ACL
filters for the VLL end-point port. The command no forward-all-protocol removes the L2/L3
protocols ACL filters for the VLL end point port.
NOTE
The forward-all-protocol command is only applicable to the Brocade NetIron CER and Brocade
NetIron CES.
To implement per port Layer 2 and Layer 3 (L2/L3) protocols ACL filters, enter the following
command.
Brocade(config)# int eth 1/1
Brocade (config-if-e1000-1/1)# forward-all-protocol
Syntax: [no] forward-all-protocol
The command no forward-all-protocol deletes VLL end point port L2/L3 protocols ACL filters. For
LAG, only the primary port needs to be configured.
NOTE
The forward-all-protocol command lets L2/L3 protocols on the port go with hardware forwarding
without going to the CPU. If the no forward-all-protocol command is executed, the L2/L3 functions
may be impacted.
The show interfaces ethernet slot/port command displays the configuration status of the
forward-all-protocol command.
The following output example shows the show interfaces ethernet slot/port command with the
forward-all-protocol command disabled.
