Transparent with Extra Tagging (Q-in-Q)
Transparent with Extra Tagging mode can add an extra tag to data received on the
DATA port. By using Extra Tagging in a Host/Remote iMcV-FiberLinX-II pair, all data
received on the Remote iMcV-FiberLinX-II DATA port can be extra-tagged and sent
out of the Host iMcV-FiberLinX-II DATA port with a unique tag for identification in
the Host cloud. In the reverse direction the extra tag is removed before sending the
data out of the Remote iMcV-FiberLinX-II DATA port.
To configure this mode, perform the following:
Set the Extra Tag Mode on both of the iMcV-FiberLinX-II modules:
