Parameters
vsi-name: Specifies the name of a VSI, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters.
access-mode: Specifies the access mode. By default, the access mode is VLAN.
ethernet: Specifies the Ethernet access mode.
vlan: Specifies the VLAN access mode.
Usage guidelines
After you bind a Layer 3 interface to a VSI, packets received from the interface are forwarded
according to the MAC address table of the VSI. After you bind a service instance on a Layer 2 interface
to a VSI, packets received from the interface and matching the service instance are forwarded
according to the MAC address table of the VSI.
The access mode determines how a BEB considers the VLAN tag in Ethernet frames received from a CE
and how the BEB forwards Ethernet frames to the CE.
• VLAN access mode—Ethernet frames received from the CE must carry a VLAN tag in the Ethernet
header. The BEB considers the VLAN tag as a P-tag assigned by the service provider. Ethernet
frames sent to the CE must also carry the P-tag.
Ethernet access mode—If Ethernet frames from the CE have a VLAN tag in the header, the PE
•
considers it as a U-tag and ignores it. Ethernet frames sent to the CE do not carry the P-tag.
Before you configure this command for a service instance, make sure you have configured match
criteria for the service instance by using the encapsulation command.
Examples
# Configure service instance 200 on Layer 2 interface FortyGigE 1/0/1 to match packets with an outer
VLAN tag of 200, and bind the service instance to the VSI vpn1.
