Configuring IEEE 802.1Q Tunneling
– 849 –
COMMAND USAGE
â—† Use the switchport dot1q-tunnel tpid command to set a custom
802.1Q ethertype value on the selected interface. This feature allows
the switch to interoperate with third-party switches that do not use the
standard 0x8100 ethertype to identify 802.1Q-tagged frames. For
example, 0x1234 is set as the custom 802.1Q ethertype on a trunk
port, incoming frames containing that ethertype are assigned to the
VLAN contained in the tag following the ethertype field, as they would
be with a standard 802.1Q trunk. Frames arriving on the port
containing any other ethertype are looked upon as untagged frames,
and assigned to the native VLAN of that port.
â—† All ports on the switch will be set to the same ethertype.
