Information About VN-Segment
The VN-Segment feature defines a new way to "tag" packets on the wire replacing the traditional 802.1Q
VLAN tag. This feature uses a 24-bit tag also referred to as a Virtual Network Identifier (VNI). CE links
(access and trunk) carry traditional VLAN tagged/untagged frames. These are the VN-Segment Edge ports.
