Re: Dot1Q Tunnels

With dot1q tunneling you assign a vlan on an interface which is then
tagged to all incoming frames. Don't think you can categorise incoming
traffic and then assign the additional vlan tag based on that. You
probably have to use multiple ports instead of one.

Being service provider related, if this is a real world question then it
would be worth posting your to nsp-cisco. SR releases of IOS handle
vlans differently to other versions, and perhaps offer additional options.
