802.1Q Tunneling, VLAN Mapping, and Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling
802.1Q tunneling is a Q-in-Q technique that expands the VLAN space by retagging the tagged packets
that enter the service provider infrastructure. 802.1Q tunneling allows service providers to assign a
VLAN to each customer without losing the original customer VLAN IDs inside the tunnel. All data
traffic that enters the tunnel is encapsulated with the tunnel VLAN ID. Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling is a
similar technique for all Layer 2 control traffic.
To map customer VLANs to service-provider VLANs, you can configure VLAN mapping (or VLAN ID
translation) on trunk ports connected to a customer network. Packets entering the port are mapped to a
service provider VLAN (S-VLAN) based on the port number and the original customer VLAN-ID
(C-VLAN) of the packet.
For information on configuring 802.1Q tunneling and VLAN Mapping, see
802.1Q Tunneling, VLAN Mapping, and Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling.”
Cisco IOS Auto Smartport Macros
Cisco IOS Auto SmartPort macros dynamically configure ports based on the device type detected on the
port. When the switch detects a new device on a port it applies the appropriate Cisco IOS Auto
Smartports macro. When a link-down event occurs on the port, the switch removes the macro. For
example, when you connect a Cisco IP phone to a port, Cisco IOS Auto SmartPorts automatically applies
the IP phone macro. The IP phone macro enables quality of service (QoS), security features, and a
dedicated voice VLAN to ensure proper treatment of delay-sensitive voice traffic.

Cisco Discovery Protocol
The Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a device-discovery protocol that is both media- and
protocol-independent. CDP is available on all Cisco products, including routers, switches, bridges, and
access servers. Using CDP, a device can advertise its existence to other devices and receive information
