DESCRIPTION

VLAN Stacking

 

 

 

Active

Select this to enable VLAN stacking on the MES-2110.

 

 

SP TPID

SP TPID is a standard Ethernet type code identifying the frame

 

and indicates whether the frame carries IEEE 802.1Q tag

 

information. Choose 0x8100 or 0x9100 from the drop-down list

 

box or select Others and then enter a four-digit hexadecimal

 

number from 0x0000 to 0xFFFF. 0x denotes a hexadecimal

 

number. It does not have to be typed in the Others text field.

 

 

Port

The port number identifies the port you are configuring.

 

 

Role

Select Access to have the MES-2110 add the SP TPID tag to all

 

incoming frames received on this port. Select Access Port for

 

ingress ports at the edge of the service provider's network.

 

Select Tunnel (available for Gigabit ports only) for egress ports

 

at the edge of the service provider's network.

 

In order to support VLAN stacking on a port, the port must be

 

able to allow frames of 1526 Bytes (1522 Bytes + 4 Bytes for the

 

second tag) to pass through it.
