Configuring a VLAN Stacking Service
A VLAN Stacking service is identified by a name. The ethernet-service service-name command is used
to create a service and assign the service to an SVLAN or IMPVLAN ID, depending on the type of traffic
the service will process. The ID specified with this command identifies the SVLAN that will carry traffic
for the service. Each service is associated with only one SVLAN, but an SVLAN may belong to multiple
services.
To create a VLAN Stacking service, use the ethernet-service service-name command and specify a name
and SVLAN or IPMVLAN ID. For example, the following command creates a service named “Video-
Service” and associates the service with SVLAN 300:
-> ethernet-service service-name Video-Service svlan 300
The SVLAN or IPMPVLAN ID specified with this command must already exist in the switch configura-
tion; entering a standard VLAN ID is not allowed. See “Configuring SVLANs” on page 6-17 for more
information.
Once the VLAN Stacking service is created, the name is used to configure and display all components
associated with that service. The service name provides a single point of reference for a specific VLAN
Stacking configuration. For example, the following show ethernet-service command display shows how
the service name identifies a VLAN Stacking service and components related to that service:
-> show ethernet-service
Service Name : Video-Service
SVLAN : 300
NNI(s) : 2/1, 3/2
SAP Id : 20
UNIs : 1/1, 1/2
CVLAN(s) : 10, 20
sap-profile : sap-video1
SAP Id : 30
UNIs : 1/3
CVLAN(s) : untagged, 40
sap-profile : sap-video2
Service Name : ipmv_service
IPMVLAN : 40
NNI(s) : No NNIs configured
SAP Id : 2
UNIs : 1/22
CVLAN(s) : 100
sap-profile : translate_profile
To delete a service from the switch configuration, use the no form of the ethernet-service service-name
command. For example, the following command deletes the “Video-Service” service:
-> no ethernet-service servic-name Video-Service
Note that when a VLAN Stacking service is deleted, the SVLAN or IMPVLAN ID association with the
service is automatically deleted. However, if one or more VLAN Stacking service access point (SAP) are
associated with the service, remove the SAPs first before attempting to delete the service.
