NETGEAR 7000 Series Managed Switch Administration Guide Version 7.2

Chapter 27

Double VLANs

This section describes how to configure the Double VLAN (DVLAN) feature on the switch. A DVLAN is a way to pass traffic of customers who have multiple VLANs from one customer domain to another customer domain. Custom VLAN IDs are preserved and a provider service VLAN ID is added to the traffic so that the traffic can pass the metro core in a simple and cost- effective manner.

Overview

Double VLANs:

Pass customer traffic from one customer domain to another through the metro core

Select customer ports and a service provider port
