Stacked VLAN configuration overview

The stacked VLAN (sVLAN) protocol transparently transports packets through an sVLAN domain by adding an additional 4-byte header to each packet.

Follow these steps to configure an sVLAN using Device Manager:

Note: You must follow these steps in sequence to configure an sVLAN.

1. Change the Ether type and set the switch level to a 1 or above.

For more information, see "Setting the sVLAN Ethertype and switch level."

2. Configure UNI and NNI ports.

For more information, see "Setting the sVLAN port type"

3. Create a STG of type sVLAN.

For more information, see "Creating an sVLAN STG."

4. Create a VLAN of type sVLAN within the STG created in Step 3 and add ports to it.

For more information, see "Creating an sVLAN."
