Non-IPv4 Ethernet frames forwarding

In the situation where non IP frames (or non Ethernet II) frames need to be accepted on a port, the parameter l2forward can be enabled (disabled by default). This can be used to forward frames such as PPPoE PADI, Appletalk, on other ports belonging to the same forwarding domain.

The procedure is the following:

config system interface

edit port1

set l2forward enable

next

edit port2

set l2forward enable

next

end
