Configure Dot1Q Ethertype - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare Command Reference Manual

VLAN Commands

configure dot1q ethertype

configure dot1q ethertype <ethertype>
Description
Configures an IEEE 802.1Q Ethertype.
NOTE
This command is available only on the "i" series switches.
Syntax Description
ethertype Specifies an Ethertype value.
Default
Ethertype value of 8100.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command if you need to communicate with a switch that supports 802.1Q, but uses an
Ethertype value other than 8100. This feature is useful for VMAN tunneling. Extreme Networks
recommends the use of IEEE registered Ethertype 0x88a8 for deploying vMANs.
Extreme switches assume an Ethertype value of 8100.
You must reboot the switch for this command to take effect.
Example
The following command, followed by a switch reboot, changes the Ethertype value to 9100:
configure dot1q ethertype 9100
History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare 1.0.
