120 CHAPTER 8: VLAN-VPN CONFIGURATION
You can execute the vlan-vpn enable or vlan-vpn uplink enable command for a port,
but do not execute both of the two commands for a port.
When the TPID field is set to the default value (that is, 0x8100), a port can serve as an
uplink port no matter whether or not you enable the VLAN-VPN uplink function for
the port. However, if the TPID field is not set to 0x8100, you need to enable the
VLAN-VPN uplink function for the port if you want to make the port an uplink port.
