PowerConnect 8024F Q-in-Q

Hello

We have two Power Connect 8024F switches with a 10G Metro E uplink between them. Both ports are trunk ports with a single vlan between the two devices from the provider. They are Te1/0/1 on both switches

I have an interface on each switch that I would like to plug into the core network in both locations as a trunk port, tunneling 20-30 VLANs over the one VLAN.

So far, I have set both customer interfaces to switchport mode general, switchport general pvid 100

When setting mode dvlan-tunnel on te1/0/24 I lose access to the device, it stops pinging and telnet session dies.

Is there anyone around with experience in getting Q in Q working between two 8024F?

Cheers

Nick

If possible you will probably want someone at the other location to help out if the connection drops. The config itself is pretty straight forward.

# config

# interface Te1/0/1

# switchport mode trunk

# switchport trunk native vlan 100

# mode dvlan-tunnel

# exit

# dvlan-tunnel ethertype 802.1Q

CTRL+Z

# show dvlan-tunnel

I would start with Trunk mode. If it does not seem to work, then try general mode. In general mode you need to make sure to specify that the VLANs are tagged.

# switchport mode general

# switchport general allowed vlan add 20-30 tagged

# switchport general pvid 100

Keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks
