Sorry for the previous mail, hit some weird gmail keyboard shortcut. Here is what I've seen work before. interface fa0/1 switchport switchport access vlan <provider vlan> switchport mode dot1q-tunnel end interface fa0/2 switchport switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk allowed vlan 50, 60 switchport mode trunk end interface fa0/3 switchport switchport access vlan <provider vlan> switchport mode access end Connect a crossover cable between fa0/1 and fa0/2 and put the access ports you want double tagged over the provider link the respective access vlan. Of course your layer2 path will have to have the necessary MTU size to carry the double tagged frames. - Laurent _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
