Guidelines for Conguring Multipoint Receive-Only Tunnels
• You can congure up to eight remote end-points for a multipoint receive-only tunnel. The maximum number of remote end-points
supported for all multipoint receive-only tunnels on the switch depends on the hardware table size to setup termination.
• The IP MTU congured on the physical interface determines how multiple nested encapsulated packets are handled in a multipoint
receive-only tunnel.
• Control-plane packets received on a multipoint receive-only tunnel are destined to the local IP address and routed to the CPU after
decapsulation. A response to these packets from the switch is only possible if the route to the sender does not pass through a receive-
only tunnel.
• Multipathing over more than one VLAN interface is not supported on packets routed through the tunnel interface.
• IP tunnel interfaces are supported over ECMP paths to the next hop. ECMP paths over IP tunnel interfaces are supported. ARP and
neighbor resolution for the IP tunnel next-hop are supported.
