[AusNOG] Cheap Q-in-Q Switch Recommendations

[James Mcintosh]

Mark,

That's pretty close to my scenario.

For the purposes of clarity and using a Cisco example let's say I get handed off double tagged VLANs 2, 4 and 6 which each encapsulate two VLANs each e.g. VLANs 21,22,41,41,61 and 62. How can I get to a scenario where I can strip the outer VLAN ID's and trunk the inner VLAN's to my next device e.g:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/43
 description egress interface
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 21,22,41,41,61,62
 switchport mode trunk
 load-interval 30
end


-James.

My guess is that James is planning to use it as part of the infrastructure connecting to
an NBN NNI, where sessions are handed off to RSPs as q-in-q encapsulated vlans.

It really is just a wild guess though.
