[Edgecore SONiC] Selective QinQ Follow
QinQ is a feature designed for service providers who carry traffic of multiple customers across their networks and are required to maintain the VLAN and Layer 2 protocol configurations of each customer without impacting the traffic of other customers. The SPVLAN (Service Provider VLAN) tags will be inserted in the customer frames when they enter the service provider network, and the tags will be stripped after they leave the service provider network.

Tested model & firmware version:

AS7326-56X(DCS203)
AS7726-32X(DCS204)
AS5812-54X(DCS208) - Edgecore SONiC version:
202006.4
202012.1 ~ 202012.4
202111.0
Restriction:
- Before 202012.2 doesn’t support the CLI for QinQ. ( 202012.3 or later support the CLI for QinQ)
- The TPID configuration is supported in 202111.0 or later.
- The default TPID is 0x8100.
- TPID support to modify, including 0x8100/0x88a8/0x9100/0x9200( Some other values that have been used are 0x9100, 0x9200 and 0x88A8 (used for Q-in-Q outer TPID)).
- The TPID configuration supports on physical/PortChannel interfaces.
- When the TPID does not match, the packet is recognized by the receiving interface as untagged. The unrecognized VLAN Tag and the rest of that packet are all treated as customer payload and forwarded it accordingly.
- For this SONiC TPID configuration feature it is primarily used for the HW ASIC to be able to treat non-matching TPID VLAN tags as customer payload in order to preserve the VLAN TAG. There is no attempt to configure the LINUX Kernel to handle Q-in-Q packets nor changing its default 802.1Q TPID 0x8100 to some other values.

Expect result:
- The traffic can be forwarding between PC1 and PC2 with VLAN10 tag.
- The traffic between AS7326-56X and AS7726-32X are double tag.(Service tag is 100 and customer tag is 10)
Procedure:
Before the 202012.3 versions, please follow below the steps to set the QinQ.
Steps 1. Create a JSON file to select the QinQ configuration for the input port. When you enter traffic using the VLAN10 tag, it pushes the VLAN100 tag and forwards it according to the MAC address table. When exiting from the port, VLAN100 is popped and output.
- AS7326-56X:
admin@AS7326-56X:~$ cat qinq.json
{
"VLAN_STACKING": {
"Ethernet0|ingress|10": {
"action": "push",
"s_vlanid": "100"
},
"Ethernet0|egress|100": {
"action": "pop"
}
}
}
- AS7726-32X:
admin@AS7726-32X:~$ cat qinq.json
{
"VLAN_STACKING": {
"Ethernet4|ingress|10": {
"action": "push",
"s_vlanid": "100"
},
"Ethernet4|egress|100": {
"action": "pop"
}
}
}
Steps 2. Apply the configuration with "config load"
- AS7326-56X:
admin@AS7326-56X:~$ sudo config load qinq.json -y
Running command: /usr/local/bin/sonic-cfggen -j qinq.json --write-to-db
- AS7726-32X:
admin@AS7726-32X:~$ sudo config load qinq.json -y
Running command: /usr/local/bin/sonic-cfggen -j qinq.json --write-to-db
202012.3 or later version support CLI, here's the CLI for setting QinQ.

admin@AS7726-32X:~$ sudo config vlan-stacking add Ethernet4 egress 100 pop

CLI Error handling with TPID configuration
- There is a warning message when the system isn't ready and configures the TPID by CLI.
admin@SONiC:~$ sudo config interface tpid Ethernet64 0x9200
System not ready to accept TPID config. Please try again later. - There is a warning message when we configure the TPID on the device which didn't support TPID configuration on LAG.
admin@SONiC:~$ sudo config interface tpid PortChannel0002 0x9200
HW is not capable to support PortChannel TPID config. -
Once a port is already bound as part of a LAG, TPID configure directly to the LAG member port is not allowed or it will trigger the warning message.
admin@SONiC:~$ sudo config interface tpid Ethernet4 0x9200
Ethernet4 is already member of PortChannel0002. Set TPID NOT allowed. -
TPID values support: 0x8100 (default), 0x9100, 0x9200, and 0x88A8. once the user attempts to configure any TPID value other than these 4 values, it will trigger the warning message.
admin@SONiC:~$ sudo config interface tpid Ethernet64 0x0800
TPID 0x0800 is not allowed. Allowed: 0x8100, 0x9100, 0x9200, or 0x88A8.
