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. For ICX 8100 and ICX 8200 devices, the number will be between 0 and 0xfffe. For all other devices, the number will be 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.
