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
