Understanding 802.1Q Tunneling
802.1Q tunneling enables service providers to use a single VLAN to support customers who have multiple VLANs, while preserving customer VLAN IDs and keeping traffic in different customer VLANs segregated.
A port configured to support 802.1Q tunneling is called a tunnel port. When you configure tunneling, you assign a tunnel port to a VLAN that you dedicate to tunneling, which then becomes a tunnel VLAN. To keep customer traffic segregated, each customer requires a separate tunnel VLAN, but that one tunnel VLAN supports all of the customer’s VLANs.
802.1Q tunneling is not restricted to point-to-point tunnel configurations. Any tunnel port in a tunnel VLAN is a tunnel entry and exit point. An 802.1Q tunnel can have as many tunnel ports as are needed to connect customer switches.

Understanding 802.1Q TunnelingThe customer switches are trunk connected, but with 802.1Q tunneling, the service provider switches only use one service provider VLAN to carry all the customer VLANs, instead of directly carrying all the customer VLANs.With 802.1Q tunneling, tagged customer traffic comes from an 802.1Q trunk port on a customer device and enters the service-provider edge switch through a tunnel port. The link between the 802.1Q trunk port on a customer device and the tunnel port is called an asymmetrical link because one end is configured as an 802.1Q trunk port and the other end is configured as a tunnel port. You assign the tunnel port to an access VLAN ID unique to each customer.

The received customer traffic is then put into the VLAN to which the tunnel port is assigned. This Ethertype 0x8100 traffic, with the received 802.1Q tag intact, is called tunnel traffic. A VLAN carrying tunnel traffic is an 802.1Q tunnel. The tunnel ports in the VLAN are the tunnel’s ingress and egress points.The tunnel ports do not have to be on the same network device. The tunnel can cross other network links and other network devices before reaching the egress tunnel port. A tunnel can have as many tunnel ports as required to support the customer devices that need to communicate through the tunnel.An egress tunnel port strips the 2-byte Ethertype field (0x8100) and the 2-byte length field and transmits the traffic with the 802.1Q tag still intact to an 802.1Q trunk port on a customer device. The 802.1Q trunk port on the customer device strips the 802.1Q tag and puts the traffic into the appropriate customer VLAN.NoteTunnel traffic carries a second 802.1Q tag only when it is on a trunk link between service-provider network devices, with the outer tag containing the service-provider-assigned VLAN ID and the inner tag containing the customer-assigned VLAN IDs.802.1Q Tunneling Configuration Guidelines and RestrictionsWhen configuring 802.1Q tunneling in your network, follow these guidelines and restrictions:••Use asymmetrical links to put traffic into a tunnel or to remove traffic from a tunnel.Configure tunnel ports only to form an asymmetrical link.CiscoIOS Software Configuration Guide, Release12.2(33)SXH and Later Releases

802.1Q Tunneling Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions••••••
Dedicate one VLAN for each tunnel.
Assign only tunnel ports to VLANs used for tunneling.Trunks require no special configuration to carry tunnel VLANs.
Tunnel ports are not trunks. Any commands to configure trunking are inactive while the port is configured as a tunnel port.
Tunnel ports learn customer MAC addresses.
We recommend that you use ISL trunks to carry tunnel traffic between devices that do not have tunnel ports. Because of the 802.1Q native VLAN feature, using 802.1Q trunks requires that you be very careful when you configure tunneling: a mistake might direct tunnel traffic to a non-tunnel port.By default, the native VLAN traffic of a dot1q trunk is sent untagged, which cannot be
double-tagged in the service provider network. Because of this situation, the native VLAN traffic might not be tunneled correctly. Be sure that the native VLAN traffic is always sent tagged in an asymmetrical link. To tag the native VLAN egress traffic and drop all untagged ingress traffic, enter the global vlan dot1q tag native command.Configure jumbo frame support on tunnel ports:
–See the “Configuring Jumbo Frame Support” section on page9-10.
–Take note of the modules listed in the “Configuring Jumbo Frame Support” section that do not
•
•
support jumbo frames.
••
Jumbo frames can be tunneled as long as the jumbo frame length combined with the 802.1Q tag does not exceed the maximum frame size.
Because tunnel traffic has the added ethertype and length field and retains the 802.1Q tag within the switch, the following restrictions exist:
–The Layer 3 packet within the Layer 2 frame cannot be identified in tunnel traffic.–Layer 3 and higher parameters cannot be identified in tunnel traffic (for example, Layer 3
destination and source addresses).
–Because the Layer 3 addresses cannot be identified within the packet, tunnel traffic cannot be
routed.
–The switch can provide only MAC-layer filtering for tunnel traffic (VLAN IDs and source and
destination MAC addresses).
–The switch can provide only MAC-layer access control and QoS for tunnel traffic.
–QoS cannot detect the received CoS value in the 802.1Q 2-byte Tag Control Information field.•
On an asymmetrical link, the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) reports a native VLAN mismatch if the VLAN of the tunnel port does not match the native VLAN of the 802.1Q trunk. The 802.1Q tunnel feature does not require that the VLANs match. Ignore the messages if your configuration requires nonmatching VLANs.
Asymmetrical links do not support the Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) because only one port on the link is a trunk. Configure the 802.1Q trunk port on an asymmetrical link to trunk unconditionally.The 802.1Q tunneling feature cannot be configured on ports configured to support private VLANs.The following Layer 2 protocols work between devices connected by an asymmetrical link:
–CDP
–UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD)–Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP)–Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)

802.1Q Tunneling Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions•••
Spanning-tree BPDU filtering is enabled automatically on tunnel ports. CDP is automatically disabled on tunnel ports.
VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) does not work between the following devices:
–Devices connected by an asymmetrical link–Devices communicating through a tunnel
Note
VTP works between tunneled devices if Layer 2 protocol tunneling is enabled. See Chapter24, “Configuring Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling,” for configuration details.
•
To configure an EtherChannel as an asymmetrical link, all ports in the EtherChannel must have the same tunneling configuration. Because the Layer 3 packet within the Layer 2 frame cannot be identified, you must configure the EtherChannel to use MAC-address-based frame distribution.On all the service provider edge switches, PortFast BPDU filtering must be enabled on the 802.1Q tunnel ports as follows:
Router(config-if)# spanning-tree bpdufilter enable Router(config-if)# spanning-tree portfast
The following configuration guidelines are required for your Layer 2 protocol tunneling configuration:
•
Note•
Spanning-tree BPDU filtering is enabled automatically on tunnel ports.
At least one VLAN must be available for native VLAN tagging (vlan dot1q tag native option). If you use all the available VLANs and then try to enable the vlan dot1q tag native option, the option will not be enabled.
On all the service provider core switches, tag native VLAN egress traffic and drop untagged native VLAN ingress traffic by entering the following command:
Router(config)# vlan dot1q tag native
•
•On all the customer switches, either enable or disable the global vlan dot1q tag native option.
Note
If this option is enabled on one switch and disabled on another switch, all traffic is dropped; all customer switches must have this option configured the same on each switch.
The following configuration guidelines are optional for your Layer 2 protocol tunneling configuration:
•
Because all the BPDUs are being dropped, spanning tree PortFast can be enabled on Layer 2 protocol tunnel ports as follows:
Router(config-if)# spanning-tree portfast trunk
•
If the service provider does not want the customer to see its switches, CDP should be disabled on the 802.1Q tunnel port as follows:
Router(config-if)# no cdp enable

Configuring 802.1Q TunnelingConfiguring the Switch to Tag Native VLAN Traffic
The vlan dot1q tag native command is a global command that configures the switch to tag native VLAN traffic, and admit only 802.1Q tagged frames on 802.1Q trunks, dropping any untagged traffic, including untagged traffic in the native VLAN.
On ports where you enter the no switchport trunk native vlan tag interface command, the function of the vlan dot1q tag native global command is disabled.
These sections describe how to configure the switch to tag native VLAN traffic:
