Figure 5-5 VLAN Ethernet to Fast/GigabitEthernet Topology
VLAN Processing: VLAN-enabled Ethernet to WAN Interfaces
In this scenario, shown in Figure 5-6, the XSR does not insert a VLAN tag in Ethernet frames
because no VLAN is linked with the outgoing port (Serial 1).
Figure 5-6 VLAN Ethernet to WAN Interfaces Topology
VLAN Processing: WAN Interface to a VLAN-enabled Ethernet Interface
In this scenario, as shown in Figure 5-7, a VLAN tag is inserted since a VLAN ID (1200) is
associated with the outgoing VLAN sub-interface (FastEthernet 1.1). The packet will be forwarded
to IP address 9.9.9.1 of the next-hop router. For traffic which did not enter the XSR from a VLAN
sub-interface, the priority bits are set to 0 (lowest level).

Note: VLAN tags cannot be assigned to a WAN interface - they are relevant only for XSR
FastEthernet and GigabitEthernet interfaces.
