Configuring IEEE 802.1Q Tunneling
– 607 –
Console(config-if)#switchport dot1q-tunnel service 200 match cvid 20
Console(config-if)#switchport dot1q-tunnel service 300 match cvid 30
6. Configures port 1 as member of VLANs 10, 20 and 30 to avoid filtering out
incoming frames tagged with VID 10, 20 or 30 on port 1
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/1
Console(config-if)#switchport allowed vlan add 10,20,30
7. Verify configuration settings.
Console#show dot1q-tunnel service
802.1Q Tunnel Service Subscriptions
Port Match C-VID S-VID
-------- ----------- -----
Eth 1/ 1 10 100
Eth 1/ 1 20 200
Eth 1/ 1 30 300
Step 2. Configure Switch C.
1. Create VLAN 100, 200 and 300.
Console(config)#vlan database
Console(config-vlan)#vlan 100,200,300 media ethernet state active
2. Configure port 1 and port 2 as tagged members of VLAN 100, 200 and 300.
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/1,2
Console(config-if)#switchport allowed vlan add 100,200,300 tagged

dot1q-tunnel tpid
This command sets the Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID) value of a tunnel port. Use the
no form to restore the default setting.
Syntax
switchport dot1q-tunnel tpid tpid
no switchport dot1q-tunnel tpid
tpid – Sets the ethertype value for 802.1Q encapsulation. This identifier is
used to select a nonstandard 2-byte ethertype to identify 802.1Q tagged
frames. The standard ethertype value is 0x8100. (Range: 0800-FFFF
hexadecimal)
Default Setting
0x8100
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
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
