Figure 63 VLAN Stacking Example
21.2 VLAN Stacking Port Roles
Each port can have three VLAN stacking “roles”, Normal, Access Port and Tunnel (the latter
is for Gigabit ports only).
• Select Normal for “regular” (non-VLAN stacking) IEEE 802.1Q frame switching.
• Select Access Port for ingress ports on the service provider's edge devices (1 and 2 in the
VLAN stacking example figure). The incoming frame is treated as "untagged", so a
second VLAN tag (outer VLAN tag) can be added.
"
Static VLAN Tx Tagging MUST be disabled on a port where you choose
Normal or Access Port.
• Select Tunnel Port (available for Gigabit ports only) for egress ports at the edge of the
service provider's network. All VLANs belonging to a customer can be aggregated into a
single service provider's VLAN (using the outer VLAN tag defined by SP VID).
"
Static VLAN Tx Tagging MUST be enabled on a port where you choose
Tunnel Port.
