Associating VLAN IDs to VLAN Demux Interfaces

The following sections describe how to configure VLAN demux interfaces to receive and forward VLAN-tagged frames:

Associating VLAN IDs to VLAN Demux Interfaces Overview

To configure a VLAN demux interface to receive and forward VLAN-tagged frames, you must associate a VLAN ID or dual tagged (stacked) VLAN ID to the interface. Table 58 shows the configuration statements you use to associate VLAN IDs to VLAN demux interfaces, depending on the VLAN tag framing you use:

You can include all of the statements at the following hierarchy levels:

Associating a VLAN ID to a VLAN Demux Interface

A VLAN demux interface that you have associated to a particular VLAN ID receives and forwards incoming frames that contain a matching VLAN ID. You can associate a VLAN ID to a single-tag logical interface or to a dual-tagged (stacked) logical interface.

  1. Associating a VLAN ID to a Single-Tag VLAN Demux Interface
  2. Associating a VLAN ID to a Dual-Tag VLAN Demux Interface

Associating a VLAN ID to a Single-Tag VLAN Demux Interface

To associate a VLAN ID to a single-tag VLAN demux interface, include the vlan-id statement at the [edit interfaces demux0 unit logical-unit-number] hierarchy level:

vlan-id vlan-id;

To configure an interface to support single-tag logical interfaces, you must also include the vlan-tagging statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level. To support mixed tagging, include the flexible-vlan-tagging statement instead.

Associating a VLAN ID to a Dual-Tag VLAN Demux Interface

To associate a VLAN ID to a dual-tag VLAN demux interface, include the vlan-tags statement at the [edit interfaces demux0 unit logical-unit-number] hierarchy level:

vlan-tags inner <tpid.>vlan-id outer <tpid.>vlan-id;

To configure an interface to support dual-tag logical interfaces, include the stacked-vlan-tagging statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level. To support mixed tagging, include the flexible-vlan-tagging statement instead.
