Parameters

Field	Value	Description
Port	PORTn or VCTRUNKn	A PORT or VCTRUNK port numbered n.
Port Attribute		The Port Attribute (Ethernet Port) parameter specifies the position of a port in the network. Different port attributes support different packets.
Encapsulation Format of P Port	MartinioE, stack VLAN Default: MartinioE	Encapsulation Format of P Port (Network Attributes) indicates that the board supports receiving of data packets in the MPLS encapsulation format and normal Ethernet data packets. The port needs to process different types of packets in different ways, so you need to set the port to a PE port or a P port. The PE port is not configured with the encapsulation format, while the P port is configured with the encapsulation format. The P port indicates a port for connecting the equipment of the network provider, so the P port receives data packets in the MPLS encapsulation format. You can set the packet encapsulation format of the P port by running the configuration command. This parameter is not available to boards that support QinQ.
