Configuring Nesting; Configuration Procedure - HP 5920 Configuration Manual

Configuring nesting

Nesting adds a VLAN tag to the matching packets, to allow the VLAN-tagged packets to pass through
the corresponding VLAN. For example, you can add an outer VLAN tag to packets from a customer
network to a service provider network. This allows the packets to pass through the service provider
network by carrying a VLAN tag assigned by the service provider.

Configuration procedure

To configure nesting:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Create a traffic class and
enter traffic class view.
3. Configure match criteria.
4. Return to system view.
5. Create a traffic behavior
and enter traffic behavior
view.
6. Configure a VLAN tag
adding action.
7. Return to system view.
8. Create a QoS policy and
enter QoS policy view.
9. Associate the traffic class
with the traffic behavior in
the QoS policy.
10. Return to system view.
11. Apply the QoS policy.
