Set Up Optional Double Tagging

If you are using the 9160 within a service provider environment, you can configure a single LAG that
includes VLANS from different customers that are connected to individual ports. You can view and
set service provider ID tags for those ports at the Double Tagging Configuration screen, which lists
the ports and associated PVIDs. The double tag is derived from the PVID. When enabled, double
tagging adds the double` tag to a packet as it exits a port; or when disabled, strips the double tag as it
exits a port. When you set values for ports on the Double Tagging Configuration screen, it
automatically adjusts associated parameters on the VLAN port x Information screen.
