If you look at private vlan's I think this is the feature I need, but that didn't work or maybe i'm doing somehthing wrong. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750/software/release/12.2_55_se/configuration/guide/swpvlan.html But i don't think this the same because in that drawing you have vlan in vlan.  which is what i don't need.  What I need is that a device can use a different vlan on his side than what the servers are in. For example we have a customer with a HGW with a specific vlan on ethernet, using vlan 835, but another hgw for another customer uses VLAN 35.  Both need to get an IP address on this from the same server in vlan 100.  The server has more functionallity than only providing dhcp (rd enviroment).  if HGW requests an ip address on vlan 835, the cisco should translate this to VLAN 100, the same for vlan 35.  It's only to the userside of the cisco that matters for the vlan and we can't change the configuration their.  so we're stuck on using 835 and 35 on the HGW, which is connected to the cisco.  So the port configuration on the cisco will have a vlan 835 or 35.  But I don't want to create 2 servers for this or have the server configured with those vlans as well. Maybe it's just not possible and need to think of another solution ... View more

Hi sorry for the explanation. Yes eventually the user vlans (as I call it), because I'm those namings on different network devices (like ISAMs) should be able to communicate via the network vlan. In DSL the users would have a vp/vc 8/35 with for example a vlan mapped to the network.  Another user could have vp/vc 0/35 with the same vlan mapped to the network.  For VDSL it's the same but there you have user vlans and network vlans. So for ethernet I would like to have the same.  A device will have a trunk on his port configured, vlans 835, ... and those should be mapped to a vlan of where the servers are in.  Say another port is configured but here he uses vlan 35 as a vlan but to the network he's using the same vlan, they should be able to communicate.  The user vlans (only on the interface to the device) is actually not seen to in the network, but is there to devide the interface in multiple service. an example device a is using vlan 835 to the cisco where it should be mapped to vlan 100.  where for example a dhcp server is listing on vlan 100.  So device A gets an IP address from server in VLAN 100. Device b can have other settings, say vlan 35 but to the network it should use vlan 100, so he gets an ip in the same network. Hope this is more clear now. ... View more

do you mean the entire config? I think the most important configuration is how both are connected right? switch 1: cluster enable wijgmaal 0 cluster member 1 mac-address 001f.9d2d.9f80 cluster member 2 mac-address 001f.9e2c.2180 no spanning-tree vlan 25 interface TenGigabitEthernet1/0/1 description to 2nd switch 10thfloor switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk allowed vlan 25,100-160,250-252 switchport mode trunk priority-queue out mls qos trust dscp interface Vlan25 description MANAGEMENT ip address 192.168.25.1 255.255.255.0 switch 2 snmp-server community Wijgmaal RO snmp-server community wijgmaal@es1 RO snmp-server enable traps license interface Vlan25 description DSLMGMT ip address 192.168.25.4 255.255.255.0 ipv6 address 2001:470:1F15:548::4/64 interface TenGigabitEthernet1/1/1 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk allowed vlan 25,100-160,250-252 switchport mode trunk priority-queue out mls qos trust dscp Hope this is enough information?

For Ethernet pseudowires, the supported PSN tunnel options are MPLS (EoMPLS) or L2TPv3. L2TPv2 is not an option, AFAIK. Is there any ways to configure L2TPv2 with VLANs.  Meaning my tunnel can be bridged together with a vlan.  Similar to the pseudowires? My customer has setup a l2tpv2 on his devices (juniper e320) and they say this doesn't support l2tpv3.  I need to map that tunnel into a vlan or attach it to a physical interface and distribute it into my network. ...

Guys thank you for your help already.  Today i had some time to check it and actually, it seems more or less working... More or less because sometimes i see on my vlan 102 some drops. Gigabit interface is sending 100Mb of data (vlan 100), 10mb of voice (vlan 101)  and 20mb of video (vlan 102).  Sometimes i notice drops on my outgoing interface 3/0/1 which is the fastethernet one.  I think i have now to play with the queue settings, but what is the best approach for this? The problem is as well that when I increase the bandwith of the voice and video throughputs, that i will see some drops there as well.  I off course know how much bandwith we're sending from our video , but for voice it can be 10 or either 100 calls together, but the bandwith is much less in this case...but I want to know what in case this traffic increases and we see drops on the outgoing interfaces???? thanks again! the results: sh mls qos interface gigabitEthernet 3/0/1     GigabitEthernet3/0/1 trust state: not trusted trust mode: not trusted trust enabled flag: ena COS override: dis default COS: 0 DSCP Mutation Map: Default DSCP Mutation Map Trust device: none qos mode: vlan-based FastEthernet3/0/1 trust state: not trusted trust mode: not trusted trust enabled flag: ena COS override: dis default COS: 0 DSCP Mutation Map: Default DSCP Mutation Map Trust device: none qos mode: vlan-based switchsteven#show mls qos interface fastEthernet 3/0/1 statistics FastEthernet3/0/1 (All statistics are in packets)   dscp: incoming  -------------------------------   0 -  4 :         285            0            0            0           15    5 -  9 :           0            0            0            0            0  10 -

Hi the problem with the link is that it's the about QoS in general.  Off course you need to finetune this according to the settings that I need specifically.  But there's just the problem...I can't seem to get it working for my use case and it's hard to find out where it goes wrong. How I verify this?  I have 3 streams running from 1 client to another client with udp traffic being sent from A -> B.  A sends 3 streams of 5 Mb (simulating voice), 20 Mb (simulating video) and 85Mb (simulating data).  Because i'm oversending i should see lost packets but according to my settings voice and video should not be dropped.  Although this happens of course. I will check with your commands to see if I have some more information for you! thanks anyway for the help! sg ... View more
