Configuring 802.1q-in-q tagging
11
Note that since ports 11 and 12 belong to the port region 1 – 12, the 802.1Q tag actually applies
to ports 1 – 12.
Syntax: [no] tag-type <num> [ethernet <slot-number>/<port-number> [to
<slot-number>/<port-number>]]
The <num> parameter specifies the tag-type number and can be a hexadecimal value from 0 - ffff.
The default is 8100.
The ethernet <port number> to <port number> parameter specifies the ports that will use the
defined 802.1Q tag. This parameter operates with the following rules:
• If you specify a single port number, the 802.1Q tag applies only to that port. You can use the
show running-config command to view how the command has been applied.
• If you do not specify a port or range of ports, the 802.1Q tag applies to all Ethernet ports on the
device.
Example configuration
Figure 27 shows an example 802.1Q-in-Q configuration.

This is the link over which 802.1Q-in-Q
applies. This link can also be replaced
by a cloud or core of other vendors’
devices that use the 802.1Q tag type of
8100.
