Creating QinQ Services

This section describes the configuration of EVPL (QinQ) services on a station.

Prerequisites

It applies to the Ethernet board: LEM18, 11LEX4, 11LEM24, L4G and TBE.

Background Information

EVPL (QinQ) services is the Ethernet service packets that are added with an S-VLAN tag or a C-VLAN tag. In this way, the extension of VLAN ID is realized.

Precaution

NOTE:

Setting the parameters of a port affect the service of the board. Before setting the parameters of a port, configure State of the port as OOS at the Ethernet Interface. After setting the parameters, restore State of the port to IS.

Procedure

Select the desired Ethernet board on the NE Explorer, and choose Configuration > Ethernet Service > Ethernet Line Service from the Function Tree. Click the EPL Service tab.
Select Display QinQ Shared Service on the bottom of the interface on the right.
Click New on the bottom of the interface on the right. The Create Ethernet Line Service dialog box is displayed.
Select EVPL(QinQ) from the Service Type drop-down list.
Enter the attributes of the Ethernet service on the dialog box.

NOTE:
For related parameters, refer to Parameters.

Under Port Attributes, TAG of ports can be set on the Create Ethernet Line Service dialog box. For details on how to configure the attributes of Ethernet ports, refer to Configuring the Attributes of Ethernet Interfaces.
Click OK, and the created EVPL (QinQ) service is displayed on the interface.
Optional: If the VLAN SNCP is required at the receive end of services, after creating Ethernet services at the transmit end, double-click the OAM Enabled field corresponding to the Ethernet services and set it to Enabled.
NOTE:
If the VLAN SNCP is created on the TBE board, the OAM function does not need to be enabled in view of bandwidth utilization in the case of heavy traffic; the OAM function should be enabled in the case of light traffic.
