This feature allows encapsulating (and decapsulating) L2 traffic from a given interface or subinterface over a GRE tunnel. An MPLS label is added to identify the ingress interface (similar to MPLS pseudowires) and the GRE tunnel is used to transport the packets to a remote endpoint.

The Wildcard tunneling feature allows the DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF) to decapsulate L2GRE-based tunneled traffic from any remote source. This feature, supported on SwitchLightOS (SWL) based DMF switches in prior releases, now allows wildcard tunnels on Arista EOS-based DMF switches. Please refer to the DMF User Guide for more information on configuring the feature.
