Chapter 23 Flexible QinQ Configuration

23.1 Introduction to Flexible QinQ

23.1.1 QinQ Technique

Dot1q-tunnel is also called QinQ (802.1Q-in-802.1Q), which is an expansion of 802.1Q. Its

dominating idea is encapsulating the customer VLAN tag (CVLAN tag) to the service provider

VLAN tag (SPVLAN tag). The packet with two VLAN tags is transmitted through the backbone

network of the ISP internet to provide a simple layer-2 tunnel for the users. It is simple and

easy to manage, applicable only by static configuration, and especially adaptive to small office

network or small metropolitan area network using layer-3 switch as backbone equipment.

There are two kinds of QinQ: basic QinQ and flexible QinQ, the priority of flexible QinQ is

higher than basic QinQ.

23.1.2 Basic QinQ

Basic QinQ based the port. After a port configures QinQ, whether the received packet with tag

or not, the device still packs the default VLAN tag for the packet. Using basic QinQ is simple,

but the setting method of VLAN tag is inflexible.

23.1.3 Flexible QinQ

Flexible QinQ based data flow. It selects whether pack the external tag and packs what kind of

the external tag by matching the material flow. For example: implement the property of flexible
QinQ according to the user’s VLAN tag, MAC address, IPv4/IPv6 address, IPv4/IPv6 protocol

and the port ID of the application, etc. So, it can encapsulate the external tag for the packet

and implements different scheme by different users or methods.

23.2 Flexible QinQ Configuration Task List

The match of flexible QinQ data flow uses policy-map rule of QoS to be sent, the configuration

task list is as follows:

1. Create class-map to classify different data flows

2. Create flexible QinQ policy-map to relate with the class-map and set the corresponding

operation

3. Bind flexible QinQ policy-map to port

1. Configure class map
