Configuration example: Core 1 Switch

To configure the Core 1 switch:

Procedure
  1. Enable QinQ:
    Core l(config)# qinq svlan tag-type 88a8
  2. Reboot the box with the configuration saved to transfer into svlan bridge mode.
  3. Configure S-VLANs and port assignments.
    Core 1(config)# svlan 100
    Core 1(svlan-100)# tagged A1, A2
    Core 1(svlan-100)# exit
    Core 1(config)# svlan 200
    Core 1(svlan-200)# tagged A1, A2
    Core 1(svlan-200)# exit
    Core 1(config)#: interface A1,A2 qinq port-type provider-network
    

NOTE:

The S-VLAN configuration for the core devices is based on what VLANs the edge devices (Edge 1 and 2) can send. Per the 802.1ad specification, all ports carrying customer traffic will be tagged on the VLAN that the port carries customer frames on.

To configure the Core 2 switch:
  1. Enable QinQ:

    Core 2(config)# qinq svlan tag-type 88a8
  2. Reboot the box with the configuration saved to transfer into svlan bridge mode.

  3. Configure S-VLANs and port assignments.
    Core 2(config)# svlan 100
    Core 2(svlan-100)# tagged A1, A2
    Core 2(svlan-100)# exit
    Core 2(config)# svlan 200
    Core 2(svlan-100)# tagged A1, A2
    Core 2(svlan-100)# exit
    Core 2(config)# interface A1,A2 qinq port-type provider-network
