tpid – Sets the ethertype value for 802.1Q encapsulation. This

identifier is used to select a nonstandard 2-byte ethertype to

identify 802.1Q tagged frames. The standard ethertype value is

0x8100. (Range: 0800-FFFF hexadecimal)

Use the switchport dot1q-tunnel tpid command to set a custom

802.1Q ethertype value on the selected interface. This feature allows

the switch to interoperate with third-party switches that do not use the

standard 0x8100 ethertype to identify 802.1Q-tagged frames. For

example, 0x1234 is set as the custom 802.1Q ethertype on a trunk

port, incoming frames containing that ethertype are assigned to the

VLAN contained in the tag following the ethertype field, as they would

be with a standard 802.1Q trunk. Frames arriving on the port

containing any other ethertype are looked upon as untagged frames,

and assigned to the native VLAN of that port.
