Dot1q Tunnel (802.1ad) on a PE Router

[s.lachica]

Hi,

I have this connection: CE SW1(Trunk)------(G0/X)PE Router---MPLS, I want to configure the PE router to encapsulate the tagged frame on another dot1q tag (QinQ) prior to sending it via a Pseudowire. On a switch, I know how to implement it using switchport mode dot1q tunnel. But on a PE router, is it possible to do it this way:

conf t

int G0/X

 no ip address

 service instance 100 Ethernet

  encapsulation dot1q 100

  rewrite ingress tag push 1 symmetric

  l2protocol tunnel...

  bridge-domain 100

end

I thought of tagging the frame using rewrite ingress tag push, but not have tested it. If this is not possible, then how do we properly do this?

Thanks!
