Double VLAN Commands
This section describes the commands you use to configure double VLAN (DVLAN). Double VLAN tagging is a way
to pass VLAN traffic from one customer domain to another through a Metro Core in a simple and cost effective
manner. The additional tag on the traffic helps differentiate between customers in the MAN while preserving
the VLAN identification of the individual customers when they enter their own 802.1Q domain.
dvlan-tunnel ethertype (Global Config)
This command configures the EtherType for all interfaces. The two-byte hex ethertype is used EtherType the
first 16 bits of the DVLAN tag. The EtherType may have the values of EtherType
.1Q, vman, or custom. If the
ethertype has an optional value of
custom, then it is a custom tunnel value, and EtherType must be set to a
value in the range of 1 to 65535.
dvlan-tunnel ethertype primary-tpid
Use this command to create a new TPID and associate it with the next available TPID register. If no TPID
registers are empty, the system returns an error to the user. Specifying the optional keyword [primary–tpid]
forces the TPID value to be configured as the default TPID at index 0.
