Chapter 5: Switching Commands 369
Double VLAN Commands
This section describes the commands you use to configure double VLAN
(DVLAN). Double VLAN tagging is a way to pass VLAN traffic from one
customer domain to another through a Metro Core in a simple and cost effective
manner. The additional tag on the traffic helps differentiate between customers in
the MAN while preserving the VLAN identification of the individual customers
when they enter their own IEEE 802.1Q domain.
dvlan-tunnel
ethertype
This command configures the ethertype for the switch. The two-byte hex
ethertype is used as the first 16 bits of the DVLAN tag. The ethertype may have
the values of
802.1Q, vman, or custom. If the ethertype has an optional value of
custom, then it is a custom tunnel value, and ethertype must be set to a value in
the range of 1 to 65535.
no dvlan-tunnel
ethertype
This command removes the ethertype value for the switch.
