IEEE 802.1Q-in-Q VLAN Tagging support on Nexus 5548UP ?

[Philip Apts]

Hi,

Is Q-in-Q tunneling supported on the N5K platform ? I can not find any document that says it is.

I am currently running code version 5.1(3)N1(1) and am not able to configure it.

I can however find documents that say it is supported on the N7K platform -->

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/5_x/nx-os/interfaces/configuration/guide/if_qinq_tunnel.html

and

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/lanswitch/configuration/guide/lsw_ieee_802.1q.html#wp1049541

If it is not supported on the N5K platform, what are the alternatives on this platform, if any ?

Thx !

There is none; QinQ is not supported on the 5k; I had to use Cat3750 to make my encapsulations

Does 5500 support qinq now ? In recent softwares? If not, do you know whether 5600 supports qinq?

Hi,

Curently q-in-q support is not included into nexus 5000 hardware. Nexus 7000 has different hardware base that's why some supported feature list may differ.

HTH,

Same Question, i was trying to configure 5548 as fanout and cannot configure encapsulation q in q. Is there a workaround if it is not supported?

Thanks,
