Hi Guys

I am having the following issue on a 1100AHX2 unit

Port 7 needs to be a trunk port for VLANS - this is connected to an ME provider switch and receives vlan tags from the provider for connectivity

port 13 is connected into our Cisco Core and is also a trunk port - this Cisco network is providing a Pseudowire connection for this router between our ME rings to another DC when our MPLS core is. The Cisco port on the other side is trunking all vlans down for now for testing.

I am needing to trunk a vlan (1222) from port 7 into port 13. The catch is that port 13 already has a bridge setup for the pseudowire and is trunking VLANs to the pseudowire.

I have tried to add port 7 and vlan 1222 into the bridge and then setup my trunk no luck.

I can add VLAN 1222 to port 13 give it an ip and ping accross the pseudowire.
I can then add VLAN 1222 to port 7 and ping down the ME circuit.

How can i connect the two and thus trunk vlan 1222 from the ME down the pseudowire ?

Thanks

Perhaps you might try to setup Q in Q tunneling. I have run into this problem when dealing with L2 links across carrier networks.
A quick tutorial can be found here: http://packetlife.net/blog/2010/jul/12/ ... tunneling/

If I followed your requirements correctly then one possible solution may be to add port 7 to the bridge then use bridge filters to restrict which traffic is actually bridged on that bridge port - e.g. limit to the required VLAN.

Perhaps other activity on port 7 makes that an unattractive option.

Hi

Thanks for the reply - Port 7 will need to run as a trunk as well.

It currently has 2 Supplier based vlans on it - that I need to move over to port 13.

Check out bridge filters. You could probably use that to restrict the traffic to/from Ether 7 to those 2 VLANs.
