DETAILED STEPS
Command Purpose
Step 1
enable
Example:
Router>enable
Enables the privileged EXEC mode. 
Enter your password when prompted.
Step 2
configure terminal
Example:
Router#configure terminal
Enters the global configuration mode.
Step 3
interface gigabitethernet 
slot/port.sub-port
Example:
Router(config)#interface 
gigabitethernet 0/2.1101 
Specifies the subinterface and enters the subinterface 
configuration mode.
Step 4
encapsulation dot1q vlan-id
or
encapsulation dot1q vlan-id 
second-dot1q inner vlan-id
Example:
Router(config-subif)#encapsulation 
dot1q 100
or
Router(config-subif)#encapsulation 
dot1q 100 second-dot1q 1101
Defines the encapsulation format as IEEE 802.1Q 
(dot1q), and specifies the VLAN identifier.
For double tagging, use the second-dot1q keyword and 
the inner vlan-id argument to specify the VLAN tag.
Step 5
ethernet loopback permit external
Example:
Router(config-subif)#ethernet 
loopback permit external
Configures Ethernet external loopback on the 
subinterface.
Step 6
end
Example:
Router(config-subif)#end
Exits the subinterface configuration mode.
