Ingress VLAN and Egress Tagging

Ingress VLAN functionality allows customers to assign dedicated VLAN Tags to ingress traffic, creating a mapping between the Network port and tool ports.

Traffic received on network ports can be added with an additional VLAN tag and sent towards the tools for identifying the Network Port(with the assigned VLAN tag).

The following image shows a visual representation of Ingress VLAN and Egress Tagging:

Ingress VLAN

Configuration:

1. Configure Network/Tool port(s)

//Network ports
configure terminal
interface ethernet Ethernet12/1
forward-error-correction rs
type network
end

//Tool ports
configure terminal
interface ethernet Ethernet16/1
forward-error-correction rs
type tool
end

2. Configure ingress VLAN

configure terminal
interface ethernet Ethernet12/1
ingress-vlan 512
end

3. Enable egress tagging on tool port(s)

configure terminal
interface ethernet Ethernet16/1
egress-tagging enable
end

4. Configure flow

configure terminal
flow flow1
network-ports Ethernet12/1
tool-ports Ethernet16/1
rule 1 permit match-all counters enable
end

5. Verify

// verify interface
pbnoscli# show interface npb Ethernet12/1
===================================
Interface : Ethernet12/1      
===================================
Mode           : vlan-aware      
Ingress-vlan   : 512             
Egress-tagging : disable         

pbnoscli# show interface npb Ethernet16/1
===================================
Interface : Ethernet16/1      
===================================
Mode           : vlan-aware      
Ingress-vlan   : 18              
Egress-tagging : enable

By default, the Interface will have a native VLAN of n+2 (i.e. Eth12 will have a tag of 14)
