Procedure 13-2.1: Configure an NNI on the VLNC40/42

- Overview

Use this procedure to configure an NNI port on the VLNC4x. There must be at least one port on the circuit pack with double VLAN tagging enabled before service-multiplexing can be enabled on a port.

When double VLAN tagging is enabled on an interface it becomes a service provider NNI port. Ports without double VLAN tagging enabled become customer UNI ports. Double VLAN Tunneling may not be enabled on a port where service-multiplexing is enabled. When service-multiplexing is enabled on any port on the circuit pack, then only d-group ports may have double VLAN tagging enabled.

Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) Command Line Interface Guide, for help on using CLI commands.

Step
 
1

From the User EXEC prompt, enter enable to enter the Privileged EXEC mode.


2

Enter configure to enter the Global Config mode.


3

From your work instructions, determine which ports are NNI ports.


4

From the Global Config mode, enter interface <interface-number> to enter the Interface Config Mode, where “interface-number” is the address for the port (NNI) on which you will enable double VLAN tagging.

Example: (ALU Switching)(Config)# interface d2-3.


5

From the Interface Config mode, enter mode dvlan-tunnel on the selected NNI port. Example: (ALU Switching)(interface d2-3) # mode dvlan-tunnel.
