ISID endpoint configuration example

Configuring the ISID endpoints

The existing VLAN CLI under the VPLS configuration mode has been enhanced to configure ISID
endpoints.

To configure ISID endpoints, enter commands such as the following:

Brocade(config-mpls)# vpls test 100

Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-test)# vc-mode tagged

Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-test)# vlan 100 isid 450

Syntax: [no] vlan 1-4094 [inner-vlan 1-4095 | isid 256 - 16777214]

The outer vlan can be from 1 to 4094, but it excludes the default VLAN ID.

The inner-vlan can be in the range from 1 to 4095.

The ISID can be in the range from 256 to 16777214. The ISIDs from 0 to 255 and 16777215 are
reserve.

Tag Type and Ether Type

For a packet to be classified as a Dual Tag packet, the Ether type of the inner-vlan tag in the packet
should always be 0x8100. The expected Ether type for the outer vlan (B-TAG/S-TAG) can be
changed using the global 'tag-type' CLI. The default is 0x8100. Different Ether types can be
configured per-port.

The existing tag-type CLI has been enhanced to specify the expected Etype for I-TAG. The default is
0x88e7 (this Etype configuration is global and cannot be specified per-port). The configuration will
take effect immediately, and you do not need to reload the box for the new Ether type to take effect.

Brocade(config)# tag-type)

Brocade(config)# tag-type isid 88e8
