Enabling VLAN Tagging
You can configure the router to receive and forward single-tag frames, dual-tag frames, or a mixture of single-tag and dual-tag frames.
- To configure the router to receive and forward single-tag
frames with 802.1Q VLAN tags, include the
vlan-tagging
statement at the[edit interfaces interface-name]
hierarchy level:[edit interfaces interface-name] user@host# vlan-tagging;
- To configure the router to receive and forward dual-tag
frames with 802.1Q VLAN tags, include the
stacked-vlan-tagging
statement at the[edit interfaces interface-name]
hierarchy level:[edit interfaces interface-name] user@host# stacked-vlan-tagging;
-
Mixed tagging is supported
for
all router Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on MX Series routers and
for aggregated Ethernet interfaces with member links in IQ2 and IQ2-E PICs or in
MX Series DPCs. Mixed tagging enables to configure two logical interfaces on the
same Ethernet port, one with single-tag framing and one with dual-tag
framing.
Note:
Mixed tagging is not supported on Fast Ethernet interfaces.
To configure mixed tagging:
-
Configure the
flexible-vlan-tagging
statement at the[edit interfaces ge-fpc/pic/port]
hierarchy level.[edit interfaces ge-fpc/pic/port] user@host#flexible-vlan-tagging;
-
Configure the
vlan-tags
statement withinner
andouter
options or thevlan-id
statement at the[edit interfaces ge-fpc/pic/port unit logical-unit-number]
hierarchy level:
Note:If you configure the physical interface MTU for mixed tagging, then you must increase the MTU to 4 bytes more than the MTU value you would configure for a standard VLAN-tagged interface.
For example, if the MTU value is configured to be 1018 on a VLAN-tagged interface, then the MTU value on a flexible VLAN tagged interface must be 1022—4 bytes more. The additional 4 bytes accommodates the future addition of a stacked VLAN tag configuration on the same physical interface.
If the same physical interface MTU value is configured on both the VLAN and flexible VLAN-tag routers, the L2 circuit configuration does not come up and a MTU mismatch is logged. However, normal traffic flow is unaffected.
For encapsulation type

Configure the
- For 1-, 4-, and 8-port Gigabit Ethernet IQ2 and IQ2-E
PICs, for 1-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet IQ2 and IQ2-E PICs, for all MX
Series router Gigabit Ethernet, Tri-Rate Ethernet copper, and 10-Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces configured for 802.1Q flexible VLAN tagging, and
for aggregated Ethernet interfaces on IQ2 and IQ2-E PICs or MX Series
DPCs, you can configure mixed tagging support for untagged packets
on a port. Untagged packets are accepted on the same mixed VLAN-tagged
port. To accept untagged packets, include the
native-vlan-id
statement and theflexible-vlan-tagging
statement at the[edit interfaces interface-name]
hierarchy level:[edit interfaces ge-fpc/pic/port] flexible-vlan-tagging; native-vlan-id number;
The logical interface on which untagged packets are to be received must be configured with the same native VLAN ID as that configured on the physical interface. To configure the logical interface, include the
vlan-id
statement (matching thenative-vlan-id
statement on the physical interface) at the[edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number]
hierarchy level.
