Tag :: Forwarding

L2 protocol frames - LLDP, LACP and STP are trapped to the CPU by default. This feature allows for disabling the per protocol trap on a given set of interfaces. Starting from 4.32.1F, forwarding of MACsec EAPoL frames is also supported on a per interface basis on certain platforms. Starting from 4.35.0F, specific platforms support forwarding LLDP VXLAN encapsulated frames while continuing to trap regular/local LLDP frames to the CPU per interface.

The sFlow VLAN forwarding feature adds support for providing the VLAN by which the packet is bridged as opposed to the VLAN that is decoded from the Ethernet frame. The VLANs are reported in the sFlow extended switch header’s input VLAN and output VLAN fields, as defined in the sFlow extended switch data.
