Configuring VLAN transparent transmission
When basic QinQ is enabled on a port, all packets passing through the port are tagged with the port's PVID tag. However, by configuring the VLAN transparent transmission function on a port, you can specify the port not to add its PVID tag to packets carrying specific inner VLAN tags when they pass through it, so that these packets are transmitted in the service provider network with single tags.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you are configuring transparent transmission for a VLAN, you must configure all the devices on the transmission path to permit packets of this VLAN to pass through.
For VLANs whose packets are to be transparently transmitted through a port, do not configure VLAN mapping for them on the port. For more information about VLAN mapping, see "Configuring VLAN mapping."
Configuration procedure
To configure VLAN transparent transmission:
Step | Command | Remarks |
---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter interface view or port group view. |
| Use either command. |
3. Configure the link type of the ports. | port link-type { hybrid | trunk } | N/A |
4. Configure the ports to allow packets from its PVID and the transparent VLANs to pass through. |
| Use either command. |
5. Enable basic QinQ on the ports. | qinq enable | By default, basic QinQ is disabled on ports. |
6. Configure VLAN transparent transmission on the ports. | qinq transparent-vlan vlan-list | By default, VLAN transparent transmission is not configured. |
