Configuring 802.1Q-In-Q Tagging - Dell PowerConnect B-RX Configuration Manual

Commands for device F
The commands for configuring device F are identical to the commands for configuring device E. In
this example, since the port numbers on each side of the configuration in
are symmetrical, the configuration of device F is also identical to the configuration of device A and
device B.

BigIron RX-F(config-vlan-101)# untagged ethernet 1/1

Configuring 802.1q-in-q tagging

802.1Q-in-Q tagging enables you to configure 802.1Q tag-types on a group of ports, such as trunk
ports, thereby enabling the creation of two identical 802.1Q tags (802.1Q-in-Q tagging) on a single
device. This feature improves SAV interoperability between Brocade devices and other vendors'
devices that support the 802.1Q tag-types, but are not very flexible with the tag-types they accept.
