Configuring 802.1Q Tunneling, VLAN Mapping,
and Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling
Virtual private networks (VPNs) provide enterprise-scale connectivity on a shared infrastructure, often
Ethernet-based, with the same security, prioritization, reliability, and manageability requirements of
private networks. Tunneling is a feature designed for service providers who carry traffic of multiple
customers across their networks and who are required to maintain the VLAN and Layer 2 protocol
configurations of each customer without impacting the traffic of other customers. This chapter describes
how to configure 802.1Q, Layer 2 protocol tunneling, and VLAN mapping (or VLAN ID translation) on
a Catalyst 4500 series switch.

About 802.1Q Tunneling
The VLAN ranges required by different customers in the same service provider network might overlap,
and customer traffic through the infrastructure might be mixed. Assigning a unique range of VLAN IDs
to each customer restricts customer configurations and could easily exceed the VLAN limit (4096) of
the 802.1Q specification.
802.1Q tunneling enables service providers to use a single VLAN to support customers who have
multiple VLANs, while preserving customer VLAN IDs and keeping traffic in different customer
VLANs segregated.
