Hi thanks for the reply. I

IA client ports do not support these features:

...

- IEEE 802.1Q tunneling

My ports will take the commands but I just can't seem to get it working, however I can't see anything conclusive online that says it should or shouldn't work. Can anyone advise whether the above link is 100% correct and QinQ isn't possible on 6800IA or if I've misunderstood?

Many thanks!

Hi

Check the FEX itself it will tell you what there capable of , but there stripped down so I doubt they support qinq , mine don't look to anyway 2248s and 2232s

Hi thanks for the reply. I can see yours says the below:

dot1Q-tunnel mode: yes

Where as mine doesn't have this line:

Strangely enough though an SFP port on the C6832-X-LE doesn't have this either, but I'd imagine the brain of the FEX should be able to do QinQ?

Any advice on the above?

yes see mine is coming off a 5K and a diff fex not a 6k switch so the capabilities may be different per fex , if its not there its not supported usually , I was told by TAC before that's where you check what your FEX port can do as we had discrepancies between are different types of fexes and there abilities

saying that looking at the doc qinq is not supported on any 2k model connected to 5/6 or 7 switches , its not listed at all as a feature

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/nexus-2000-series-fabric-extenders/data_sheet_c78-507093.html

but then I see bugs for qinq in fexes released last month

https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCut03537/?referring_site=bugquickviewredir

The commands are definitely there though on my fex

(config-if)# switchport dot1q ethertype ?
0x8100          Default EtherType for 802.1q frames
0x88A8          EtherType for 802.1ad double tagged frames
0x9100          EtherType for QinQ frames
<0x600-0xffff> Any EtherType

c

Is QinQ possible on a FEX client switch?
