(Optional) Configuring Ethernet Interfaces to Retain the Original Outer TPID EtherType Value in Received QinQ Packets

All QinQ-enabled devices use 0x8100 as the inner TPID EtherType value. However, different devices use different outer TPID EtherType values. Upon receiving QinQ packets whose outer TPID EtherType value is not 0x8100 from a non-Huawei device, a Huawei device changes the value to 0x8100 by default. This may result in traffic interruptions. To prevent this issue, configure Ethernet interfaces on the Huawei device to retain the original outer TPID EtherType value in received QinQ packets.

Context

Perform the following steps on a device on which QinQ tunneling is to be configured:

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run qinq protocol transport enable

    Ethernet interfaces on the target device are configured to retain the original outer TPID EtherType value in received QinQ packets.
