7. Configure the QinQ tunnel uplink port to dot1Q-tunnel uplink mode
(switchport dot1q-tunnel mode).
8. Configure the QinQ tunnel uplink port to join the SPVLAN as a tagged member
(switchport allowed vlan).
Limitations for QinQ
◆ The native VLAN for the tunnel uplink ports and tunnel access ports cannot be
the same. However, the same service VLANs can be set on both tunnel port
types.
◆ IGMP Snooping should not be enabled on a tunnel access port.
◆ If the spanning tree protocol is enabled, be aware that a tunnel access or tunnel
uplink port may
be disabled if the spanning tree structure is automatically
reconfigured to overcome
a break in the tree. It is therefore advisable to disable
spanning tree on these ports.
