Configuring a Custom IEEE 802.1Q EtherType Field Value
With Release 12.2(17a)SX and later releases, you can configure a custom EtherType field value on a port
to support network devices that do not use the standard 0x8100 EtherType field value on 802.1Q-tagged
or 802.1p-tagged frames.
To configure a custom value for the EtherType field, perform this task:
When configuring a custom EtherType field value, note the following information:
• To use a custom EtherType field value, all network devices in the traffic path across the network
must support the custom EtherType field value.
• You can configure a custom EtherType field value on trunk ports, access ports, and tunnel ports.
• You can configure a custom EtherType field value on the member ports of an EtherChannel.
• You cannot configure a custom EtherType field value on a port-channel interface.
• Each port supports only one EtherType field value. A port that is configured with a custom
EtherType field value does not recognize frames that have any other EtherType field value as tagged
frames. For example, a trunk port that is configured with a custom EtherType field value does not
recognize the standard 0x8100 EtherType field value on 802.1Q-tagged frames and cannot put the
frames into the VLAN to which they belong.
Command Purpose
Router(config-if)# switchport dot1q ethertype value
Configures the 802.1Q EtherType field value for the port.
Router(config-if)# no switchport dot1q ethertype
Reverts to the default 802.1Q EtherType field value (0x8100).
