L2 Control Protocol Statistics on NCS 540

[Josef Baloun]

Hello engineers,

I have a question if this feature is fully supported on NCS 540 series. When there is L2 VPN service transporting CDP, VTP, STP etc. for end customer, this feature is useful for troubleshooting.

This feature is fully supported on Catalyst 9000 series:

switch#sh version | i C9300-24UB|IOS
Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 17.03.03
Model Number : C9300-24UB

switch#show l2protocol-tunnel
COS for Encapsulated Packets: 5
Drop Threshold for Encapsulated Packets: 0
Tunnel: Rewrites the destination MAC address of L2 PDUs with Cisco proprietary multicast address
Forward: Transport L2 PDUs to peer device

Port Protocol Action Shutdown Drop Encaps Decaps Drop
Name Threshold Threshold Counter Counter Counter
------------------- ----------- -------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------
switch#

Thanks a lot,

Josef

Hello Balaji,

thank you for your reply. I know L2 Control Protocol tunneling/forwarding/terminating/dropping is supported on NCS 540.
I am not sure if there is support for statistics for tunnelled L2 Control Protocols.

Do you know the command to verify these statistics?

Warm regards,

Josef
