VLAN Mode/Tag Actions

VLAN-aware mode provides OPB administrators with the ability to match traffic based on the VLAN tag and redirect it to the tool port(s).

Push VLAN - Traffic replication to tool ports based on VLAN match and push new VLAN Tag

Pop VLAN - Traffic replication to tool ports based on VLAN match and pop VLAN Tag on egress traffic

The following image shows a visual representation of the VLAN Aware Mode and the VLAN Tag Actions:

VLAN modes and Actions

Configuration:

Push VLAN:

1. Configure Network/Tool port(s)

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

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

2. Configure VLAN aware-mode

configure terminal
interface ethernet Ethernet12/1
type network
mode vlan-aware
end

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

3. Configure flow with Push VLAN

flow flow1
network-ports Ethernet12/1
tool-ports Ethernet16/1
push-vlan-tag 300
rule 1 permit match-all counters enable
end

4. Verify

Pop VLAN:

1. Configure Network/Tool port(s)

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

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

2. Configure VLAN aware-mode

configure terminal
interface ethernet Ethernet12/1
type network
mode vlan-aware
end

configure terminal
interface ethernet Ethernet16/1
type tool
end

3. Configure flow with Pop VLAN

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