Configuring the Protocol Type Value for the Outer VLAN Tag
The tag protocol identifier (TPID) field of the S-Tag is user-configurable.
To set the S-Tag TPID, use the following command.
• Select a value for the S-Tag TPID.
CONFIGURATION mode
vlan-stack protocol-type
The default is 9100.
To display the S-Tag TPID for a VLAN, use the show running-config command from EXEC privilege mode. FTOS 
displays the S-Tag TPID only if it is a non-default value.
Configuring FTOS Options for Trunk Ports
802.1ad trunk ports may also be tagged members of a VLAN so that it can carry single and double-tagged traffic.
You can enable trunk ports to carry untagged, single-tagged, and double-tagged VLAN traffic by making the trunk port a 
hybrid port.
To configure trunk ports, use the following commands.
1. Configure a trunk port to carry untagged, single-tagged, and double-tagged traffic by making it a hybrid port.
INTERFACE mode

NOTE: You can add a trunk port to an 802.1Q VLAN as well as a Stacking VLAN only when the TPID 0x8100.
2. Add the port to a 802.1Q VLAN as tagged or untagged.
