Usage Guidelines
IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation is configurable on Ethernet and EtherChannel interfaces. IEEE 802.1Q is a standard protocol for interconnecting multiple switches and routers and for defining VLAN topologies.
Use the encapsulation dot1q command in subinterface range configuration mode to apply a VLAN ID to the subinterface.
Note |
This command is not applicable to loopback interfaces. |
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to enable dot1Q encapsulation on a subinterface for VLAN 30:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/5.1
switch(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 30
switch(config-subif)#
