Re: trouble understanding L2 protocol tunneling

The switch supports tunneling of CDP, STP, including multiple STP (MSTP),
and VTP. Protocol tunneling is disabled by default but can be enabled for
the individual protocols on IEEE 802.1Q tunnel ports or on access ports.

Tunneling is not supported on trunk ports. If you enter the
*l2protocol-tunnel
*interface configuration command on a trunk port, the command is accepted,
but Layer 2 tunneling does not take affect unless you change the port to a
tunnel port or an access port.
