Configuring MPLS VLLs

Specifying a dual-tagged endpoint

Dual-tagged packets contain both an outer VLAN tag and an inner VLAN tag. Dual-tagged VLL
endpoints enable MPLS VLL to recognize packets with two tags and make forwarding decisions
based on them. A dual-tagged endpoint can receive packets with two tags and forward them to the
other endpoint either untagged, single-tagged, or dual-tagged.

NOTE

Before configuring a dual-tagged endpoint, see

“By removing FDP from the configuration, no fdp

enable stays in the configuration of the VLPS endpoints, which cannot be removed.”

on page

537.

To specify a dual-tagged endpoint for a VLL instance, enter commands such as the following:

Brocade(config-mpls)# vll test 100

Brocade(config-mpls-vll-test)# vlan 200 inner-vlan 300

Brocade(config-mpls-vll-test-vlan)# tagged e 3/11

Syntax: [no] vlan vlan-id inner-vlan vlan-id

Syntax: [no] tagged ethernet slot/port

The vlan vlan-id, which is the outer VLAN ID, can be in the range from 1 to 4094 and excludes the
default VLAN.

The inner-vlan vlan-id can be in the range from 1 to 4095 and includes the default VLAN.

Use the [no] form of the command to remove the dual-tagged VLL VLAN configuration and its
associated endpoints. For example, the command no vlan 200 inner-vlan 300 removes the
dual-tagged VLAN and associated endpoints. The single-tagged VLAN, vlan 200, is not deleted.
Similarly, the command no vlan 200 removes the single-tagged VLAN, vlan 200, and associated
endpoints. The dual-tagged VLAN, vlan 200 inner-vlan 300, is not deleted.

NOTE

A tagged port can be a part of one or more VLLs, and at the same time be part of one or more regular
VLANs and one or more VPLSs as a tagged member.

Viewing the VLL dual-tagged configuration
Use the show running config and show mpls vll commands to view the VLL dual-tagged
configuration. The following shows an example show running config output. For examples and
details of the show mpls vll commands, see
