Configuring 802.1Q Tunneling, Vlan Mapping, And Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling - Cisco Catalyst 4500 series Administration Manual

Configuring 802.1Q Tunneling, VLAN Mapping,
and Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling
Virtual private networks (VPNs) provide enterprise-scale connectivity on a shared infrastructure, often
Ethernet-based, with the same security, prioritization, reliability, and manageability requirements of
private networks. Tunneling is a feature designed for service providers who carry traffic of multiple
customers across their networks and who are required to maintain the VLAN and Layer 2 protocol
configurations of each customer without impacting the traffic of other customers. This chapter describes
how to configure Catalyst 4500 series switch 802.1Q, Layer 2 protocol tunneling, and VLAN mapping
(or VLAN ID translation) on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
