Cisco IOS IEEE 802.1Q Support
Feature Summary
With the introduction of the Cisco IOS IEEE 802.1Q Support feature, Cisco IOS now supports 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation, in addition to the currently supported ISL and IEEE 802.10 SDE encapsulations. VLANs can now be implemented using 802.1Q encapsulation amoung switches that support this standard. IEEE 802.1Q support is currently available for Fast Ethernet interfaces.
Benefits
VLANs can now implemented with Cisco IOS platforms in environments where the IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation standard is required.
Platforms
This feature is supported on these platforms:
•
Cisco 1710 router
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Supported MIBs and RFCs
None.
Configuration Tasks
You can configure routing between any number of VLANs in your network. This section documents the configuration tasks for each protocol supported with IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation. The basic process is the same, regardless of the protocol being routed. It involves

Configure AppleTalk Routing over IEEE 802.1Q
AppleTalk can be routed over virtual LAN (VLAN) subinterfaces using the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation protocol. AppleTalk Routing provides full-feature Cisco IOS software AppleTalk support on a per-VLAN basis, allowing standard AppleTalk capabilities to be configured on VLANs.
To route AppleTalk over IEEE 802.1Q between VLANs, you need to customize the subinterface to create the environment in which it will be used. Perform these tasks in the order in which they appear:
•
•
Enable AppleTalk Routing
To enable AppleTalk routing on IEEE 802.1Q interfaces, use this command in global configuration mode:
Define the VLAN Encapsulation Format
To define the VLAN encapsulation format as IEEE 802.1Q, use the following commands in interface configuration mode:
Configure AppleTalk on the Subinterface
After you enable AppleTalk globally and define the encapsulation format, you need to enable it on the subinterface by specifying the cable range and naming the AppleTalk zone for each interface. To enable the AppleTalk protocol on the subinterface, use the following commands in interface configuration mode:
Configure IP Routing over IEEE 802.1Q
IP routing over IEEE 802.1Q extends IP routing capabilities to include support for routing IP frame types in VLAN configurations using the IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation.
To route IP over IEEE 802.1Q between VLANs, you need to customize the subinterface to create the environment in which it will be used. Perform these tasks in the order in which they appear:
•
•
Enable IP Routing
IP routing is automatically enabled in the Cisco IOS software for routers. To reenable IP routing if it has been disabled, use the following command in global configuration mode:
Once you have IP routing enabled on the router, you can customize the characteristics to suit your environment. If necessary, refer to the IP configuration chapters in the Network Protocols Configuration Guide, Part 1 for guidelines on configuring IP.
Define the VLAN Encapsulation Format
To define the encapsulation format as IEEE 802.1Q, use the following commands in interface configuration mode:
Assign IP Address to Network Interface
An interface can have one primary IP address. To assign a primary IP address and a network mask to a network interface, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
A mask identifies the bits that denote the network number in an IP address. When you use the mask to subnet a network, the mask is then referred to as a subnet mask.
Configure IPX Routing over IEEE 802.1Q
IPX Routing over IEEE 802.1Q VLANs extends Novell NetWare routing capabilities to include support for routing Novell Ethernet_802.3 encapsulation frame types in VLAN configurations. Users with Novell NetWare environments can configure Novell Ethernet_802.3 encapsulation frames to be routed using IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation across VLAN boundaries.
To configure Cisco IOS software on a router with connected VLANs to exchange IPX Novell Ethernet_802.3 encapsulated frames, perform these tasks in the order in which they are appear:
•
•
Enable NetWare Routing
To enable IPX routing on IEEE 802.1Q interfaces, use the following command in global configuration mode:
Define the VLAN Encapsulation Format
To define the encapsulation format as IEEE 802.1Q, use the following commands in interface configuration mode:
Configure NetWare on the Subinterface
After you enable NetWare globally and define the VLAN encapsulation format, you may need to enable the subinterface by specifying the NetWare network number. Use this command in interface configuration mode:

encapsulation dot1q
Use the encapsulation dot1q subinterface command to enable IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation of traffic on a specified subinterface in virtual LANs. IEEE 802.1Q is a standard protocol for interconnecting multiple switches and routers, and for defining VLAN topologies.
