I'm tunning cdp, stp, vtp, lacp. Which will do cause that?
interface FastEthernet0/13
switchport access vlan 100
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode dot1q-tunnel
l2protocol-tunnel cdp
l2protocol-tunnel stp
l2protocol-tunnel vtp
l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point lacp
no cdp enable
So in this case traffic is coming in and being tunneled in vlan 100,
and sent back via the trunk port to the same switch, is that correct?
Whats ever weirder is that another switch (SW2) that is not even being
tunneled is also having the issue.
Looks something like this:
SW2
D D D
o o o
t t t
1 1 1
q q q
SW1 -Tunnel - SW4 - Tunnel - SW3
SW1 --Dot1q-- SW4 -- Dot1q - SW3
