This chapter describes the following:
Enabling VLAN Tagging
Follow these steps to designate a network interface as a bridge trunk port and enable
VLAN tagging:
1. Use the interface ethernet command, in Global Configuration mode, to enter
2. Use the bridge mode trunk command to enable VLAN tagging for the network
Configuring VLAN Tagged Bridging
With the introduction of the VLAN Tagging features, cable modems may now be
configured to operate with the BSR as "bridging" CMs, so that the BSR will bridge
their CPE traffic. Any modem not configured as a "bridging" CM will be considered
to be a normal "routing" CM, where the BSR routes the IP traffic from its CPE.
There are two methods of designating a bridging CM:

This configures the port to tag all layer 2 forwarded traffic. By default, all IP layer
3 routed traffic on the trunk is transmitted and received untagged.
