Vendor TPID and legacy BPDU sup-
port for STP or GVRP on a VLAN
Stacking network port.
ethernet-service nni TPID = 0x8100
legacy STP BPDU = dropped.
legacy GVRP BPDU = dropped.
Acceptable frame types on a VLAN
Stacking user port.
ethernet-service sap cvlan None.
Traffic engineering profile attributes
for a VLAN Stacking Service Access
Point (SAP).
ethernet-service sap-profile ingress bandwidth = shared
ingress bandwidth mbps = 0
CVLAN tag is preserved.
SVLAN priority mapping = 0
Treatment of customer STP and
GVRP frames ingressing on a VLAN
Stacking user port.
ethernet-service uni-profile STP frames are tunneled.
GVRP frames are tunneled.
