vMAN (PBN)

8800 Chassis Switch

Figure 96. vMAN

The entry points to the vMAN are the access ports on the vMAN edge switches, which

function as PBs. Customer VLAN traffic that is addressed to locations at other vMAN access

ports enters the ingress access port, is switched through the vMAN, and exits the egress

access port. If you do not configure any frame manipulation options, the frames that exit the

vMAN are identical to the frames that entered the vMAN.

All vMAN ports except the access ports are vMAN

network ports

. The configuration of the

network ports establishes the vMAN.

Figure 96

shows two terms that are used during vMAN configuration:

untagged vman port

and

tagged vman port

. When you configure a vMAN, you create and configure a

vman

software, and then you add ports to it. An untagged vman port represents a vMAN access

port, and despite its name, an untagged vman port supports tagged and untagged VLAN

frames. A tagged vman port represents a vMAN network port, and it only supports tagged

vMAN frames.

A vMAN supports two tags in each Ethernet frame, instead of the single tag supported by a

VLAN Ethernet frame. The inner tag is referred to as the

customer tag

(C-tag), and this

optional tag is based on the VLAN tag if the source VLAN is a tagged VLAN. The outer tag is

referred to as the

service tag

(S-tag) or vMAN tag, and it is the tag that is used to switch the

frame through the vMAN.

Figure 97

shows the frame manipulation that occurs at the access

switch for a vMAN.
