VID
is the VLAN ID. SP VID is the VID for the second or outer (service provider’s) VLAN tag.
CVID is the VID for the first or inner (Customer’s) VLAN tag.
The frame formats for an untagged Ethernet frame; a single-tagged 802.1Q frame
(customer)and a “double-tagged” 802.1Q frame (service provider) are shown as following.

VLAN Stacking Port Roles
Each port can have three VLAN stacking “roles”, Normal, Access Port and Tunnel Port.
Select
Normal
for “regular” (non-VLAN stacking) IEEE 802.1Q frame switching.
Select
Access Port
for ingress ports on the service provider's edge devices. The incoming
frame is treated as "untagged", so a second VLAN tag (outer VLAN tag) can be added.
Select
Tunnel Port
for egress ports at the edge of the service provider's network. All
VLANs belonging to a customer can be aggregated into a single service provider's VLAN
(using the outer VLAN tag defined by SP VID).
Note:
In order to have the double tagged frames switching correctly, user has to configure a
service provider’s VLAN (SPVLAN) on the Q-in-Q switch. Then, the double tagged frames can
be switched according to the SP VID. The SPVLAN should include all the related Tunnel and
Access ports. Also, user has to configure the Tunnel posts as tagged ports and the Access ports
as untagged ports.
Port-Based Q-in-Q
Q-in-Q encapsulation is to convert a single tagged 802.1Q packet into a double tagged Q-in-Q
packet. The Q-in-Q encapsulation can be based on port or traffic. Port-based Q-in-Q is to
encapsulate all the packets incoming to a port with the same SPVID outer tag. The mode is more
inflexible.
In the following example figure, both
X
and
Y
are Service Provider’s Network (
SPN
) customers
with VPN tunnels between their head offices and branch offices respectively. Both have an
identical VLAN tag for their VLAN group. The service provider can separate these two VLANs
