EoMPLS question

[sarahr202]

Hi everybody,

I do not have access to right gear, have a question :

Please consider the following config and scenario:

CE------f0/0 R2--MPLS CORE

R2:

interface f0/0

no ip address

switchport

switchport access vlan 800

switchport mode dot1qtunnel

interface vlan 800

no ip address

x connect 1.1.1.1  2 encapsulation mpls

Let say CE sends a packet , which is received by R2 on f0/0.

1) Will R2 tag the traffic with vlan tag 800 when sending traffic over PW to remote PE 1.1.1.1?

Thanks and have a nice weekend!!

Hi 

As soon as your traffic passes through the dot1q tunnel, you'll have an action tag corresponding to your dot1q tunnel Vlan (vlan provider). In your case you'll see 2 tags : your real vlan id + dot1q tunnel vlan 800.

Thanks
