QinQ (Provider Bridging)
Configuring QinQ
Now when you configure the port, the CLI will issue a warning prompt:
HP Switch<config #> svlan 200 tagged a1,a2
Ports a1, a2 will lose their cvlan memberships if any.
Do you want to continue? [y/n] y
Press [Y] to continue and automatically configure both ports as port-type
‘provider-network’ (the default for all S-VLAN member ports).
Configuring Port-Types
When QinQ is enabled on the switch all S-VLAN member ports must be
categorized as either port-type customer-network or provider-network (see
Figure 7-5).
Figure 7-5. Example of Customer or Provider Ports in the Provider Network
All ports of a QinQ enabled device default to ‘provider-network’. Any ports
participating in the provider bridge that are used to connect to customer
equipment, must be manually configured as port-type ‘customer-network’. In
a mixed mode device, ports that are members of C-VLANs and that do not
participate in the provider-bridge cannot be configured to any port-type.
The following command allows you to configure the appropriate port-type.
Syntax: [no] interface <port-list |Trkx> qinq port-type <customer-network | provider-
network>
Configures the specified ports/trunks as a customer network port
or provider network port.
Default: port-type provider (for QinQ svlan mode)
