Cisco 7600 series routers support only the following interworking types: Cisco 7600 series routers do not support the following interworking types: Both ends of the interworking link must be configured with the same encapsulation and interworking type, as described below: - If you use Ethernet encapsulation, you must use the Ethernet (bridged) interworking type. If you are not using Ethernet encapsulation, you can use a bridging mechanism such as routed bridge encapsulation (RBE).
- If you use an IP encapsulation (such as ATM or Frame Relay), you must use the IP (routed) interworking type. The PE routers negotiate the process for learning and resolving addresses.
- You must use the same maximum transmission unit (MTU) size on the attachment circuits at each end of the pseudowire.
- Frame Relay interworking does not pass the IEEE spanning tree bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) when Cisco 7600 series routers are used as PEs.

Frame Relay to PPP and High-Level Data Link Control Interworking
Cisco 12000 series Internet routers do not support L2VPN Interworking with PPP and high-level data link control (HDLC) transport types in Cisco IOS releases earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S and later releases, Cisco 12000 series Internet routers support L2VPN interworking for Frame Relay over MPLS and PPP and HDLC over MPLS only on the following shared port adapters (SPAs):
L2VPN Interworking over L2TPv3
On Cisco 12000 series Internet routers, Ethernet (bridged) interworking is not supported for L2TPv3. Only IP (routed) interworking is supported.
IP (routed) interworking is not supported in an L2TPv3 pseudowire that is configured for data sequencing (using the sequencing command).
In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)SY and later releases, Cisco 12000 series Internet routers support L2VPN Interworking over L2TPv3 tunnels in IP mode on ISE and Engine 5 line cards as follows:
On an ISE interface configured for L2TPv3 tunneling, the following Layer 2 encapsulations are supported: On an Engine 5 interface configured for L2TPv3 tunneling, the following Layer 2 encapsulations are supported:
For more information, refer to the “Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol Version 3” module.
The only frame format supported for L2TPv3 interworking on Engine 5 Ethernet SPAs is Ethernet Version 2 (also known as Ethernet II) with the Ether type 0x0800 value set as Internet Protocol Payload and optionally, 802.1q VLAN. Ethernet packets with other Ethernet frame formats are dropped.

The Cisco Remote Ethernet Port Shutdown feature (which minimizes potential data loss after a remote link failure) is supported only on the following Engine 5 Ethernet SPAs:
- SPA-8XFE (8-port Fast Ethernet)
- SPA-2X1GE (2-port Gigabit Ethernet)
- SPA-5X1GE (5-port Gigabit Ethernet)
- SPA-10X1GE (10-port Gigabit Ethernet)

On the Cisco 12000 series Engine 3 line card, Network Layer Protocol ID (NLPID) encapsulation is not supported in routed mode; neither NLPID nor AAL5MUX is supported in bridged mode. On Cisco 12000 series Internet routers, Ethernet (bridged) interworking is not supported for L2TPv3.
In an L2VPN Interworking configuration, after you configure L2TPv3 tunnel encapsulation for a pseudowire using the encapsulation l2tpv3 command, you cannot enter the interworking ethernet command.
On Ethernet SPAs on Cisco 12000 series Internet routers, the only frame format supported for L2TPv3 interworking is Ethernet Version 2 (also known as Ethernet II) with the Ether type 0x0800 value set as Internet Protocol Payload and optionally, 802.1q VLAN. Ethernet packets with other Ethernet frame formats are dropped.
ATM AAL5 Interworking Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to ATM AAL5 Interworking:
- Switched virtual circuits (SVCs) are not supported.
- Inverse Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is not supported with IP interworking.
- Customer edge (CE) routers must use point-to-point subinterfaces or static maps.
In the Ethernet end-to-end over ATM scenario, the translations listed below are supported. Everything else is dropped.
- In the IP over ATM scenario, the IPv4 (AAAA030000000800) translation is supported. Everything else is dropped.
- Operation, Administration, and Management (OAM) emulation for L2VPN Interworking is the same as like-to-like. The end-to-end F5 loopback cells are looped back on the PE router. When the pseudowire is down, an F5 end-to-end segment Alarm Indication Signal (AIS)/Remote Defect Identification (RDI) is sent from the PE router to the CE router.
- Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) can manage virtual circuits (VCs) and permanent virtual circuits (PVCs).
- To enable ILMI management, configure ILMI PVC 0/16 on the PE router’s ATM interface. If a PVC is provisioned or deleted, an ilmiVCCChange trap is sent to the CE router.
- Only the user side of the User-Network Interface (UNI) is supported; the network side of the UNI is not supported.
Ethernet VLAN Interworking Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to Ethernet/VLAN interworking:
- When you configure VLAN to Ethernet interworking, VLAN to Frame Relay (routed) interworking, or ATM using Ethernet (bridged) interworking, the PE router on the Ethernet side that receives a VLAN tagged frame from the CE router removes the VLAN tag. In the reverse direction, the PE router adds the VLAN tag to the frame before sending the frame to the CE router. (If you enable the L2VPN Interworking: VLAN Enable/Disable Option for AToM feature with the interworking vlan command, the VLAN ID is included as part of the Ethernet frame. See the “VLAN Interworking” section for more information.)
- In bridged interworking from VLAN to Frame Relay, the Frame Relay PE router does not strip off VLAN tags from the Ethernet traffic it receives.
- Cisco 10720 series Internet routers support Ethernet to VLAN Interworking Ethernet only over L2TPv3.
- Ethernet interworking for a raw Ethernet port or a VLAN trunk is not supported. Traffic streams are not kept separate when traffic is sent between transport types.
- In routed mode, only one CE router can be attached to an Ethernet PE router.
- There must be a one-to-one relationship between an attachment circuit and the pseudowire. Point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-point configurations are not supported.
- Ensure that you configure routing protocols for point-to-point operation on the CE routers when configure Ethernet to non-Ethernet.
- In the IP interworking mode, the IPv4 (0800) translation is supported. The PE router captures ARP (0806) packets and responds with its own MAC address (proxy ARP). Everything else is dropped.
- The Ethernet or VLAN must contain only two IP devices: a PE router and a CE router. The PE router performs proxy ARP and responds to all ARP requests it receives. Therefore, only one CE and one PE router should be on the Ethernet or VLAN segment.
If CE routers are configured for static routing, perform the following tasks: - The PE router needs to learn the MAC address of the CE router to correctly forward traffic to it. The Ethernet PE router sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Router discovery protocol (RDP) solicitation message with the source IP address as zero. The Ethernet CE router responds to this solicitation message. To configure Cisco CE router’s Ethernet or VLAN interface to respond to the ICMP RDP solicitation message, use the ip irdp command in interface configuration mode. If you do not configure the CE router, traffic is dropped until the CE router sends traffic towards the PE router.
- To disable the CE routers from running the router discovery protocol, issue the ip irdp maxadvertinterval 0 command in interface mode.
- Ethernet interworking between an Ethernet port and a VLAN supports spanning tree protocol only on VLAN 1. Configure VLAN 1 as a nonnative VLAN. This restriction applies if you configure interworking between Ethernet and VLAN with Catalyst switches as the CE routers. The spanning tree protocol is supported for Ethernet interworking.
- When you change the interworking configuration on an Ethernet PE router, clear the ARP entry on the adjacent CE router so that it can learn the new MAC address. Otherwise, you might experience traffic drops.
L2VPN Interworking VLAN Enable/Disable Option for AToM Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to the L2VPN Interworking: VLAN Enable/Disable Option for AToM feature, which allows the VLAN ID to be included as part of the Ethernet frame:
The L2VPN Interworking: VLAN Enable/Disable Option for AToM feature is supported in the following releases: - The L2VPN Interworking: VLAN Enable/Disable Option for AToM feature is not supported with L2TPv3. You can configure the feature only with AToM.
- If the interface on the PE router is a VLAN interface, the interworking vlan command need not be specified on that PE router.
The L2VPN Interworking: VLAN Enable/Disable Option for AToM feature works only with the following attachment circuit combinations: - If you specify an interworking type on a PE router, that interworking type must be enforced. The interworking type must match on both PE routers. Otherwise, the VC may be in an incompatible state and remain in the down state. If the attachment circuit (AC) is VLAN, the PE router can negotiate (autosense) the VC type using the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP). For example, both PE1 and PE2 use Ethernet interfaces, and VLAN interworking is specified on PE1 only. PE2 is not configured with an interworking type and cannot autosense the interworking type. The result is an incompatible state where the VC remains in the down state. However, if PE1 uses an Ethernet interface and VLAN interworking is enabled (which will enforce VLAN as the VC type), and PE2 uses a VLAN interface and interworking is not enabled (which causes PE2 to use Ethernet as its default VC type), PE2 can autosense and negotiate the interworking type and select VLAN as the VC type.
The table below shows the AC types, interworking options, and VC types after negotiation.

Frame Relay Interworking Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to Frame Relay interworking:
- The attachment circuit maximum transmission unit (MTU) sizes must match when you connect them over MPLS. By default, the MTU size associated with a Frame Relay DLCI is the interface MTU. This may cause problems, for example, when connecting some DLCIs on a Packet over SONET (POS) interface (with a default MTU of 4470 bytes) to Ethernet or VLAN (with a default MTU of 1500 bytes) and other DLCIs on the same PoS interface to ATM (with a default MTU of 4470 bytes). To avoid reducing all the interface MTUs to the lowest common denominator (1500 bytes in this case), you can specify the MTU for individual DLCIs using the mtu command.
- Only DLCI mode is supported. Port mode is not supported.
- Configure Frame Relay switching to use DCE or Network-to-Network Interface (NNI). DTE mode does not report status in the Local Management Interface (LMI) process. If a Frame Relay over MPLS circuit goes down and the PE router is in DTE mode, the CE router is never informed of the disabled circuit. You must configure the frame-relay switching command in global configuration mode in order to configure DCE or NNI.
- Frame Relay policing is non-distributed on the Cisco 7500 series routers. If you enable Frame Relay policing, traffic is sent to the Route Switch Processor for processing.
- Inverse ARP is not supported with IP interworking. CE routers must use point-to-point subinterfaces or static maps.
- The PE router automatically supports translation of both Cisco and IETF encapsulations that come from the CE but translates only to IETF when sending to the CE router. This is not a problem for the Cisco CE router because it can handle IETF encapsulation on receipt even if it is configured to send Cisco encapsulation.
With Ethernet interworking, the following translations are supported: All other translations are dropped.
- With IP interworking, IPv4 (03CC or 0800) translation is supported. All other translations are dropped.
- Frame Relay interworking does not pass the IEEE spanning tree bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) when Cisco 7600 series routers are used as PEs.
- PVC status signaling works the same way as in like-to-like case. The PE router reports the PVC status to the CE router based on the availability of the pseudowire. PVC status detected by the PE router will also be reflected into the pseudowire. LMI to OAM interworking is supported when you connect Frame Relay to ATM.
PPP Interworking Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to PPP interworking:
- There must be a one-to-one relationship between a PPP session and the pseudowire. Multiplexing of multiple PPP sessions over the pseudowire is not supported.
- There must be a one-to-one relationship between a PPP session and a Frame Relay DLCI. Each Frame Relay PVC must have only one PPP session.
- Only IP (IPv4 (0021) interworking is supported. Link Control Protocol (LCP) packets and Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP) packets are terminated at the PE router. Everything else is dropped.
- Proxy IPCP is automatically enabled on the PE router when IP interworking is configured on the pseudowire.
- By default, the PE router assumes that the CE router knows the remote CE router’s IP address.
- Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) authentication are supported.

Overview of L2VPN Interworking
Layer 2 transport over MPLS and IP already exists for like-to-like attachment circuits, such as Ethernet-to-Ethernet or PPP-to-PPP. L2VPN Interworking builds on this functionality by allowing disparate attachment circuits to be connected. An interworking function facilitates the translation between the different Layer 2 encapsulations. The figure below is an example of Layer 2 interworking, where ATM and Frame Relay packets travel over the MPLS cloud.
The L2VPN Interworking feature supports 802.1Q (VLAN), ATM AAL5, Ethernet, Frame Relay, and PPP attachment circuits over MPLS and L2TPv3. The features and restrictions for like-to-like functionality also apply to L2VPN Interworking.
 Note | Both AAL5MUX and AAL5SNAP encapsulations are supported. In the case of AAL5MUX, no translation is needed. |
L2VPN Interworking Modes
L2VPN Interworking works in either Ethernet (bridged) mode, IP (routed), or Ethernet VLAN mode. You specify the mode by issuing the interworking {ethernet | ip | vlan} command in pseudowire class configuration mode.
Ethernet Interworking
The ethernet keyword causes Ethernet frames to be extracted from the attachment circuit and sent over the pseudowire. Ethernet end-to-end transmission is assumed. Attachment circuit frames that are not Ethernet are dropped. In the case of VLAN, the VLAN tag is removed, leaving an untagged Ethernet frame.
Ethernet Interworking is also called bridged interworking. Ethernet frames are bridged across the pseudowire. The CE routers can natively bridge Ethernet or route using a bridged encapsulation model, such as Bridge Virtual Interface (BVI) or RBE. The PE routers operate in Ethernet like-to-like mode. This mode is used to offer the following services:
- LAN services—An example is an enterprise that has several sites, where some sites have Ethernet connectivity to the service provider (SP) network and others have ATM connectivity. The enterprise needs LAN connectivity to all its sites. In this case, traffic from the Ethernet or VLAN of one site can be sent through the IP/MPLS network and encapsulated as bridged traffic over an ATM VC of another site.
- Connectivity services—An example is an enterprise that has different sites that are running an Internal Gateway Protocol (IGP), which has incompatible procedures on broadcast and nonbroadcast links. The enterprise has several sites that are running an IGP, such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) or Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), between the sites. In this scenario, some of the procedures (such as a route advertisement or a designated router) depend on the underlying Layer 2 protocol and are different for a point-to-point ATM connection versus a broadcast Ethernet connection. Therefore, the bridged encapsulation over ATM can be used to achieve a homogenous Ethernet connectivity between the CE routers running the IGP.
IP Interworking
The ip keyword causes IP packets to be extracted from the attachment circuit and sent over the pseudowire. Attachment circuit frames that do not contain IPv4 packets are dropped.
IP Interworking is also called routed interworking. The CE routers encapsulate IP on the link between the CE and PE routers. A new VC type is used to signal the IP pseudowire in MPLS and L2TPv3. Translation between the Layer 2 and IP encapsulations across the pseudowire is required. Special consideration needs to be given to address resolution and routing protocol operation because these are handled differently on different Layer 2 encapsulations.
IP Interworking is used to provide IP connectivity between sites, regardless of the Layer 2 connectivity to these sites. It is different from a Layer 3 VPN because it is point-to-point in nature, and the service provider does not maintain any customer routing information.
Address resolution is encapsulation-dependent, as explained by the following:
Therefore, address resolution must be terminated on the PE router. End-to-end address resolution is not supported. Routing protocols operate differently over broadcast and point-to-point media. For Ethernet, the CE routers must either use static routing or configure the routing protocols to treat the Ethernet side as a point-to-point network.
VLAN Interworking
The vlan keyword allows the VLAN ID to be included as part of the Ethernet frame. In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(52)SE, you can configure Catalyst 3750 Metro switches to use Ethernet VLAN for Ethernet (bridged) interworking. You can specify the Ethernet VLAN (type 4) by issuing the interworking vlan command in pseudowire class configuration mode, which allows the VLAN ID to be included as part of the Ethernet frame. In releases earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.2(52)SE, the only way to achieve VLAN encapsulation is to ensure that the CE router is connected to the PE router through an Ethernet VLAN interface or subinterface.

Static IP Addresses for L2VPN Interworking for PPP
For a PE router to perform address resolution with the local CE router for PPP, you can configure the remote CE router’s IP address on the PE router. Configure the ppp ipcp address proxy command with the remote CE router’s IP address on the PE router’s xconnect PPP interface. The following is a sample configuration:
pseudowire-class ip-interworking encapsulation mpls interworking ip interface Serial2/0 encapsulation ppp xconnect 10.0.0.2 200 pw-class ip-interworking ppp ipcp address proxy 10.65.32.14
You can also configure the remote CE router’s IP address on the local CE router by using the peer default ip address command if the local CE router performs address resolution.
How to Configure L2VPN Interworking
- Configuring L2VPN Interworking
- Verifying the L2VPN Interworking Configuration
- Configuring L2VPN Interworking VLAN Option for AToM
Configuring L2VPN Interworking
The L2VPN Interworking feature allows you to connect disparate attachment circuits. Configuring the L2VPN Interworking feature requires that you add the interworking command to the list of commands that make up the pseudowire. The steps for configuring the pseudowire for L2VPN Interworking are included in this section. You use the interworking command as part of the overall AToM or L2TPv3 configuration. For specific instructions about configuring AToM or L2TPv3, see the following documents:

DETAILED STEPS
| Step 1 |
enable
Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted. | ||||
| Step 2 |
show
l2tun
session
all
For L2TPv3, you can verify the L2VPN Interworking configuration by using the show l2tun session all command on the PE routers. The following is sample output from the show l2tun session all command, and the interworking type is shown in bold.
| ||||
| Step 3 |
show
arp
You can issue the show arp command between the CE routers to ensure that data is being sent. Example: Device# show arp Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface Internet 10.1.1.5 134 0005.0032.0854 ARPA FastEthernet0/0 Internet 10.1.1.7 - 0005.0032.0000 ARPA FastEthernet0/0 | ||||
| Step 4 |
ping
You can issue the ping command between the CE routers to ensure that data is being sent. Example: Device# ping 10.1.1.5 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.1.5, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms | ||||
| Step 5 |
show
l2tun
session
interworking
For L2TPv3, you can verify that the interworking type is correctly set by using the show l2tun session interworking command. Enter the command on the PE routers that are performing the interworking translation.
Example: Device# show l2tun session interworking Session Information Total tunnels 1 sessions 1 LocID TunID Peer-address Type IWrk Username, Intf/Vcid, Circuit 15736 35411 10.9.9.9 ETH - 123, Fa1/1/0 Example: Device# show l2tun session interworking Session Information Total tunnels 1 sessions 1 LocID TunID Peer-address Type IWrk Username, Intf/Vcid, Circuit 26570 46882 10.8.8.8 VLAN ETH 123, Fa2/0.1:10 | ||||
| Step 6 |
show
mpls
l2transport
vc
detail
You can verify the AToM configuration by using the show mpls l2transport vc detail command. In the following example, the interworking type is shown in bold.

Configuring L2VPN Interworking VLAN Option for AToM
You can specify the Ethernet VLAN (type 4) by issuing the interworking vlan command in pseudowire class configuration mode, which allows the VLAN ID to be included as part of the Ethernet frame. In releases earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.2(52)SE and Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE, the only way to achieve VLAN encapsulation is to ensure that the CE router is connected to the PE router through an Ethernet link.
For complete instructions on configuring AToM, see the Any Transport over MPLS document.
