ration Guide
When the port is part of a multi-chassis LAG configuration, it can only be configured to
access mode as MC-LAG is not supported on a network port and consequently is not
supported on a hybrid port. The following port modes are supported on each of the 7210
SAS platforms:
Configuration guidelines for Dot1q-etype
The following are the configuration guidelines for Dot1q-etype configured for dot1q encap port:
• Dot1q-etype configuration is supported for all ports - Access, Hybrid and Network ports.
• Dot1q-preserve SAPs cannot be configured on dot1q encap ports configured to use
ethertype other than 0x8100.
• Priority tagged packet received with etype 0x8100 on a dot1q port configured with etype
0x9100 are classified as priority tagged packet and mapped to a dot1q :0 SAP (if
configured) and the priority tag is removed.
• Priority tagged packets received with etype 0x6666 (any value other than 0x8100) on a
dot1q port configured with etype 0x9100 is classified as null-tagged packet and mapped to
a dot1q :0 SAP (if configured) and the priority tag is retained and forwarded.
