UNI
The following table lists the description of each value.
Value
Description
UNI
Indicates the interface between CE and PE. This port
processes the packets with TAG attributes specified in IEEE
802.1Q. Moreover, this port identifies and processes the
VLAN IDs of the received packets according to the supported
Tag Aware, Access or Hybrid.
C-Aware
A C-Aware (C-VLAN Aware) port in the network is located
in the position as the UNI port at the client access side. This
port identifies and processes the VLAN (C-VLAN) in the
packets. If the value of
QinQ TYPE
is valid, this port treats
the outer labels of the packets as C-VLAN.
S-Aware
A S-Aware (S-VLAN Aware) port in the network is located
in the position as the interface on the network side. This port
identifies and processes the VLAN (S-VLAN) in the packets.
If the value of QinQ TYPE is valid, this port treats the outer
labels of the packets as S-VLAN.
Configuration Guidelines
The port attribute depends on the port position in the network and the service. For this reason,
select a proper port attribute as required. Generally, select the default value.
l
For the MPLS service, select
P
for the port that transmits or receives packets with MPLS
labels.
l
For the QinQ service, select
C-Aware
or
S-Aware
for the port. Connecting to the port of
the client network, a C-Aware port identifies and processes the packets with C-VLAN
