Tunneling VLAN packets across MANs

Bridging Configuration Guide

The following is the configuration for R2:

Multiple VLANs on a Single Tunnel Entry Port

Tunnel entry and exit ports are access ports. Normally, access ports can belong to only one VLAN of a particular
protocol type. With stackable VLANs, traffic for multiple VLANs can enter a tunnel entry port to be tunneled over the
backbone VLAN. In this case, the tunnel entry port must belong to all the VLANs that are to be tunneled. Use the

stackable-vlan

option of the

vlan make access-port

command to allow the tunnel entry port to be added to

any number of VLANs.

In

Figure 5-10

, customers C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5 each have a VLAN that will use port et.2.1 on R1 as the tunnel entry

port. On R2, port et.6.1 will be the tunnel exit port for traffic for all five VLANs.

! Create 1 backbone VLAN and 2 customer VLANs

vlan create RED port-based

vlan create GREEN port-based

vlan create BLUE port-based

! Add port to each VLAN

vlan add ports et.6.1 to BLUE

vlan add ports et.7.1 to GREEN

vlan add ports et.5.1 to RED

! Make et.5.1 both a trunk port and a tunnel backbone port

vlan make trunk-port et.5.1 stackable-vlan

! Map tunnel exit ports to backbone VLAN

vlan enable stackable-vlan on et.6.1 backbone-vlan RED

vlan enable stackable-vlan on et.7.1 backbone-vlan RED
