group mode

Function

The group mode command configures a working mode for a VLAN group.

The undo group mode command restores the default working mode.

By default, a VLAN group works in single mode.

Format

group mode { single | multiple }

undo group mode

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
single	Configures a VLAN group to work in single mode. In single mode, all VLAN tags to be terminated in a specified VLAN group belong to the same user. A VLAN group is considered as a user. This means that you cannot collect QinQ packet statistics or deploy QoS policies based on a VLAN or a VLAN range.	-
multiple	Configures a VLAN group to work in multiple mode. In multiple mode, VLAN tags to be terminated in a specified VLAN group belong to different users. VLANs or VLAN ranges in a VLAN group are considered as different users. This means that you can collect QinQ packet statistics or deploy QoS policies based on a VLAN or VLAN range to implement refined management.	-

Parameter

Description

Value

single

Configures a VLAN group to work in single mode. In single mode, all VLAN tags to be terminated in a specified VLAN group belong to the same user.

A VLAN group is considered as a user. This means that you cannot collect QinQ packet statistics or deploy QoS policies based on a VLAN or a VLAN range.

multiple

Configures a VLAN group to work in multiple mode. In multiple mode, VLAN tags to be terminated in a specified VLAN group belong to different users.

VLANs or VLAN ranges in a VLAN group are considered as different users. This means that you can collect QinQ packet statistics or deploy QoS policies based on a VLAN or VLAN range to implement refined management.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If you want to specify whether to collect QinQ packet statistics or deploy QoS policies based on a VLAN or a VLAN range in a VLAN group, run the group mode command to configure a working mode for the VLAN group.

Prerequisites

A VLAN group has been created and the VLAN group view must be displayed using the vlan-group command.

Configuration Impact

If a VLAN group is in use, do not run the group mode command to change the working mode for the VLAN group. Unbind the VLAN tag termination sub-interface from a VLAN group before you change the working mode for the VLAN group.

If the working mode of a VLAN group is set to multiple and VLAN group-based QinQ packet statistics collection is enabled using the statistic enable command, the number of QinQ packets cannot exceed 4000. Otherwise, a system fault may occur.

Example

# Configure VLAN group 1 to work in multiple mode on GE 0/1/1.1.
