Transparent with Extra Tagging (Q-in-Q)
Transparent with Extra Tagging mode can add an extra tag to data received on the
DATA port. By using Extra Tagging in a Host/Remote iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II pair, all
data received on the Remote iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II DATA port can be extra-tagged
and sent out of the Host iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II DATA port with a unique tag for
identification in the Host cloud. In the reverse direction the extra tag is removed
before sending the data out of the Remote iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II DATA port.
Do the following to set the Extra Tag Mode on both iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II modules:
