3.5.4 Set Up Optional Double Tagging
If you are using the 9161 within a service provider environment, you can include VLANS from dif-
ferent customers that are connected to individual ports. You can view and set service provider ID
tags for those ports at the Double Tagging Configuration screen, which lists the ports and associ-
ated PVIDs. The double tag is derived from the PVID. When enabled, double tagging adds the
double tag to a packet as it exits a port; or when disabled, strips the double tag as it exits a port.
When you set values for ports on the Double Tagging Configuration screen, it automatically
adjusts associated parameters on the VLAN port x Information screen.
To access the Double Tagging Configuration screen, follow these steps:
1. From the Switch Configuration menu, type 6 , Double Tagging Configuration, and press
<Enter>.
2. At the Double Tagging Configuration screen, type 1 to enable or 2 to disable double tag-
ging, then at the prompts, enter the port number and PVID, then press <Enter> to set the
tag.
3. To save the changes and return to the Switch Configuration menu, type 3 , Accept config-
uration and exit, and press <Enter>.

Use the Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) Instance Configuration screen to view and set up
instances of grouped or associated VLANs in independent STPs. To access the MST Instance
Configuration screen, follow these steps:

press <Enter>.
2. At the MST Instance Configuration screen, type 1 to view or edit MST information and
press <Enter>, then follow the prompts on the screen to add or edit the VLANS in the
MST instance.
