Configuring Other Features on EFPs
In
Figure 11-2
, Customer A was assigned VLAN 30, and Customer B was assigned VLAN 40. Packets
entering the edge switches with 802.1Q tags are double-tagged when they enter the service-provider
network, with the outer tag containing VLAN ID 30 or 40, appropriately, and the inner tag containing
the original VLAN number, for example, VLAN 100. Even if both Customers A and B have VLAN 100
in their networks, the traffic remains segregated within the service-provider network because the outer
tag is different. Each customer controls its own VLAN numbering space, which is independent of the
VLAN numbering space used by other customers and the VLAN numbering space used by the
service-provider network. At the outbound port, the original VLAN numbers on the customer's network
are recovered.

802.1Q Tunnel Ports in a Service-Provider Network
You can use EFPs to configure 802.1Q tunneling in two ways:
Method 1
In this example, for Customer A, interface Gigabit Ethernet 0/1 is the customer-facing port, and Gigabit
Ethernet 0/2 is a trunk port facing the service provider network. For Customer B, Gigabit Ethernet 0/3
is the customer-facing port, and Gigabit Ethernet 0/4 is the trunk port facing the service provider
network.
