This read-write field configures the disposition applied to frames addressed to the reserved bridge multicast MAC 01:80:C2:00:00:08 that arrive on the flow point governed by this CPD profile. The setting is operationally significant because it decides whether the switch consumes such control-block frames locally, drops them, or forwards them across the service unchanged. As a concrete case, on a flow point supporting an Ethernet Virtual Private Line between two customer sites, setting this to tunnel ensures frames the customer sends to that address reach the far site instead of being absorbed by the carrier's own equipment.
