Tag Profile Configuration Rules

When you set the tag-profile in the global configuration mode, you need to enable tag-profile on a per port basis using the

tag-profile
                  					enable

command. Only the tag-profile enabled ports use the user-configured tag-profile. The remaining ports continue using the system default tag-profile. Using this method, Q-in-Q can be achieved even if ingress and egress ports are in a single device.

For more information, refer to Enabling IEEE 802.1ad tagging.

One global tag profile can be configured on a stackable device between 0 and 0xffff.

On individual ports, if tag-profile is enabled, it points to the global tag profile.

Tag-profile can also be enabled for provisional ports.
