Configuring a Normalized VLAN for Translation or Tagging
This topic provides configuration and operational information to help you manipulate
virtuallocalareanetworks (VLANs)within a bridge domain ora virtualprivate LANservice
(VPLS)instance. TheVPLSconfigurationis notcovered inthis topic.For moreinformation
about configuring Ethernet pseudowires as partof VPLS, seethe Junos OSFeatureGuide.

The manipulation of VLANs within a bridge domain or a VPLS instance can be done in
several ways:
•
By using the vlan-map statements at the [edit interfaces] hierarchy level. This chapter
does not use vlan-map. For more information about VLAN maps, see the Junos OS
Network Interfaces Configuration Guide.
•
By using vlan-id statements within a bridge domain or VPLS instance hierarchy. This
method is used in the configuration in this chapter.
The vlan-id and vlan-tags statements under the bridge domain or VPLS routing instance
are used to:
•
Translate (normalize) received VLAN tags, or
•
Implicitly create multiple learning domains, each with a “learn” VLAN.
The use of a VLAN map or a normalized VLAN is optional.
NOTE: You cannot use vlan-map when configuring a normalized VLAN.

Implicit VLAN Translation to a Normalized VLAN
The VLAN tags of a received packet are compared with the normalized VLAN tags
specified with either the vlan-id or vlan-tags statements. If the VLAN tags of the received
packet aredifferentfromthenormalizedVLAN tags,then appropriateVLANtagoperations
(such as push-push, pop-pop, pop-swap, swap-swap, swap, and others) are implicitly
made to convert the received VLAN tags to the normalized VLAN tags. For more
information about these operations, see the Junos OS Routing Protocols Configuration
Guide.
