QinQ (802.1ad)
 | 
						|
--------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
IEEE 802.1ad was an Ethernet networking standard informally known as QinQ as
 | 
						|
an amendment to IEEE standard :ref:`vlan-interface`. 802.1ad was incorporated
 | 
						|
into the base 802.1q standard in 2011. The technique is also known as provider
 | 
						|
bridging, Stacked VLANs, or simply QinQ or Q-in-Q. "Q-in-Q" can for supported
 | 
						|
devices apply to C-tag stacking on C-tag (Ethernet Type = 0x8100).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The original 802.1q specification allows a single Virtual Local Area Network
 | 
						|
(VLAN) header to be inserted into an Ethernet frame. QinQ allows multiple
 | 
						|
VLAN tags to be inserted into a single frame, an essential capability for
 | 
						|
implementing Metro Ethernet network topologies. Just as QinQ extends 802.1Q,
 | 
						|
QinQ itself is extended by other Metro Ethernet protocols.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In a multiple VLAN header context, out of convenience the term "VLAN tag" or
 | 
						|
just "tag" for short is often used in place of "802.1Q VLAN header". QinQ
 | 
						|
allows multiple VLAN tags in an Ethernet frame; together these tags constitute
 | 
						|
a tag stack. When used in the context of an Ethernet frame, a QinQ frame is a
 | 
						|
frame that has 2 VLAN 802.1Q headers (double-tagged).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In VyOS the terms **vif-s** and **vif-c** stand for the ethertype tags that
 | 
						|
are used:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The inner tag is the tag which is closest to the payload portion of the frame.
 | 
						|
It is officially called C-TAG (customer tag, with ethertype 0x8100). The outer
 | 
						|
tag is the one closer/closest to the Ethernet header, its name is S-TAG
 | 
						|
(service tag with ethertype 0x88a8).
