steelhead communication fwd-vlan-mac
Sets the VLAN and destination MAC address to be included when the packet is forwarded to a neighbor.
Syntax
[no] steelhead communication fwd-vlan-mac
Parameters
None
Usage
When you are configuring connection forwarding, this command causes the packet forwarding SteelHead to include the VLAN and Ethernet header when it forwards packets to a neighbor. This command is useful when you are using connection forwarding and VLAN transparency. For details, see the SteelHead Deployment Guide.
You can use this command to configure full address transparency for a VLAN when the following are true:
• You are using connection forwarding.
• Your SteelHeads are on the same Layer-2 network.
• Packets on your network use two different VLANs in the forward and reverse directions.
You can also use this command if packets on your network use the same VLAN in the forward and reverse directions and you do not want to maintain network asymmetry.
The no command option disables VLAN and destination MAC address forwarding.
