After successful tunnel connection and establishment, individual sessions can be created. Each

shut down as well.

Name

Enter a 31 character maximum session name. There is no idle timeout for a tunnel. A tunnel is not
usable without a session and a subsequent session name. The tunnel is closed when the last
session tunnel session is closed.

Pseudowire ID

Define a psuedowire ID for this session. A pseudowire is an emulation of a layer 2
point-to-point connection over a packet-switching network (PSN). A pseudowire was developed out
of the necessity to encapsulate and tunnel layer 2 protocols across a layer 3 network.

Traffic Source Type

Lists the type of traffic tunnelled in this session.

Traffic Source Value

Define a VLAN range to include in the tunnel session. Available VLAN ranges are from
1 - 4,094.

Native VLAN

Select this option to provide a VLAN ID that will not be tagged in tunnel establishment and packet
transfer.
