BPDU Tunnel
Configuration
This section contains configuration information for BPDU Tunnel.
Introduction to BPDU
Tunnel
The BPDU tunnel function enables BPDUs to be transparently transmitted between
geographically dispersed user networks through specified VLAN VPNs in operator’s
networks, allowing spanning trees to be generated across these user networks and
keep independent of those of the operator’s networks.
As shown in Figure 44, the upper part is the operator’s network, and the lower part is
the user network. The operator’s network comprises packet ingress/egress devices,
and the user network consists of networks A and B. On the operator’s network,
configure the arriving BPDU packets at the ingress to have MAC addresses in a special
format, and reconvert them back to their original formats at the egress. This is how
transparent transmission is implemented on the operator’s network.
