Chapter 13 Configuring IEEE 802.1Q Tunneling and Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling
Understanding Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling
Use the
no switchport mode dot1q-tunnel
interface configuration command to return the port to the
default state of access. Use the
no vlan dot1q tag native
global configuration command to disable
tagging of native VLAN packets.
This example shows how to configure an interface as a tunnel port, enable tagging of native VLAN
packets, and verify the configuration. In this configuration, the VLAN ID for the customer connected to
Gigabit Ethernet interface 2 is VLAN 22. This VLAN is by default a UNI-ENI isolated VLAN.
Switch(config)#
interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)#
switchport access vlan 22
% Access VLAN does not exist. Creating vlan 22
Switch(config-if)#
switchport mode dot1q-tunnel
Switch(config-if)#
exit
Switch(config)#
vlan dot1q tag native
Switch(config)#
end
Switch#
show dot1q-tunnel interface gigabitethernet0/2
dot1q-tunnel mode LAN Port(s)

Switch#
show vlan dot1q tag native
dot1q native vlan tagging is enabled
Understanding Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling
Customers at different sites connected across a service-provider network need to use various Layer 2
protocols to scale their topologies to include all remote sites, as well as the local sites. STP must run
properly, and every VLAN should build a proper spanning tree that includes the local site and all remote
sites across the service-provider network. Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) must discover neighboring
Cisco devices from local and remote sites. VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) must provide consistent
VLAN configuration throughout all sites in the customer network that are participating in VTP.
Note
The Cisco ME switch does not support VTP; CDP and STP are supported by default on NNIs and can
be enabled on ENIs. However, Layer 2 protocol tunneling is supported on all ports on the switch.
When protocol tunneling is enabled, edge switches on the inbound side of the service-provider network
encapsulate Layer 2 protocol packets with a special MAC address and send them across the
service-provider network. Core switches in the network do not process these packets but forward them
Step 7
vlan dot1q tag native
(Optional) Set the switch to enable tagging of native VLAN packets on all
802.1Q trunk ports. When not set, and a customer VLAN ID is the same
as the native VLAN, the trunk port does not apply a metro tag, and packets
could be sent to the wrong destination.
Step 8
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 9
show running-config
show dot1q-tunnel
Display the ports configured for 802.1Q tunneling.
Display the ports that are in tunnel mode.
Step 10
show vlan dot1q tag native
Display 802.1Q native VLAN tagging status.
Step 11
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
