VLAN Stacking

Overview

With the VLAN-Stacking feature (also called Stackable VLANs and QinQ), you can

“stack” VLANs into one tunnel and switch them through the network transparently.

This feature is supported by FTOS on all Dell Force10 platforms as indicated by the

characters that appear under each of the command headings:

e E-Series, c

C-Series,

s S-Series, , or .

Commands

The commands included are:

• dei enable

• dei honor

• dei mark

• member

• show interface dei-honor

• show interface dei-mark

• stack-unit stack-group

• vlan-stack access

• vlan-stack compatible

• vlan-stack dot1p-mapping

• vlan-stack protocol-type

• vlan-stack trunk

For information on basic VLAN commands, refer to Virtual LAN (VLAN)

Commands in the chapter Layer 2.

Important Points to Remember

• If Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is not enabled across the Stackable VLAN

network, STP BPDUs from the customer’s networks are tunneled across the

Stackable VLAN network.
