Configuring QinQ

This section contains information for configuring Customer VLANs using the Web
Interface and using the CLI. QinQ tagging allows network managers to add an
additional tag to previously tagged packets. Customer VLANs are configured using
QinQ. Adding additional tags to the packets helps create more VLAN space. The
added tag provides an VLAN ID to each customer, this ensures private and
segregated network traffic. The VLAN ID tag is assigned to a customer port in the
service providers network. The designated port then provides additional services to
the packets with the double-tags. This allows administrators to expand service to
VLAN users. To configure customer VLANs:
1. Click Layer 2 > VLAN > VLAN > Basic Information. The VLAN Basic
Information Page opens.
