Application Scenario of One-to-Two and Two-to-Two VLAN Mapping

Figure 21-2

shows a typical application scenario in which two remote sites of VPN A, Site 1 and Site 2,

must communicate across two SP networks, SP 1 and SP 2.

Site 1 and Site 2 are in VLAN 2 and VLAN 3 respectively. The VLAN assigned for VPN A is VLAN 10 in
the SP 1 network and VLAN 20 in the SP 2 network.

If Site 1 sends a packet to Site 2, the packet is processed as follows on the way to its destination:

1) When the packet tagged with VLAN 2 arrives at the edge of network SP 1, PE 1 tags the packet

with outer VLAN 10 by using one-to-two VLAN mapping.

2) When the double-tagged packet enters the SP 2 network, PE 3 replaces the outer VLAN tag

(VLAN 10) with VLAN 20. Because the packet is destined for Site 2 in VLAN 3, PE 3 also replaces
the inner tag (VLAN 2) of the packet with VLAN 3. This process is two-to-two VLAN mapping.

You can use QinQ to implement one-to-two VLAN mapping. For more information about QinQ, see

QinQ Configuration

in the Layer 2 - LAN Switching Configuration Guide.
