CN4093 Application Guide for N/OS 8.4
Tagging can be enabled on an ingress port. When a packet is received on an ingress
port, and if ingress tagging is enabled on the port, a VLAN tag with the port PVID
is inserted into the packet as the outer VLAN tag. Depending on the egress port
setting (tagged or untagged), the outer tag of the packet is retained or removed
when it leaves the egress port.
Ingress VLAN tagging is used to tunnel packets through a public domain without
altering the original 802.1Q status.
When ingress tagging is enabled on a port, all packets, whether untagged or
tagged, will be tagged again. As shown in Figure
egress port, the outer tag of the packet is retained when it leaves the egress port. If
tagging is disabled on the egress port, the outer tag of the packet is removed when
it leaves the egress port.
