Configuring VLAN Interfaces for the Layer 2 Wholesale Solution

Clients access the Layer 2 Wholesale network through a specific interface. After they access this interface, and when they are authenticated, VLANs are dynamically created to carry the client traffic.

To configure a VLAN interface for dynamic access of clients:

  1. Access the physical interface that you want to use for dynamically creating VLAN interfaces.
    [edit interfaces]user@host# edit interfaces ge-2/3/0
  2. Specify the desired VLAN tagging.

    Note: This example uses flexible VLAN tagging to simultaneously support transmission of 802.1Q VLAN single-tag and dual-tag frames on logical interfaces on the same Ethernet port.

    [edit interfaces ge-2/3/0]user@host# set flexible-vlan-tagging
  3. Specify that you want to automatically configure VLAN interfaces.
    [edit interfaces ge-2/3/0]user@host# edit auto-configure
  4. Specify that you want to configure single VLANs.
    [edit interfaces ge-2/3/0 auto-configure]user@host# edit vlan-ranges
  5. Define the VLAN ranges for the configuration.
    [edit interfaces ge-2/3/0 auto-configure vlan-ranges]user@host# set ranges any, any
  6. Specify the dynamic VLAN profile that you want the interface to use.
    [edit interfaces ge-2/3/0 auto-configure vlan-ranges]user@host# set dynamic-profile Subscriber_Profile_Retail1
  7. Specify that any type of VLAN Ethernet packet is accepted by the interface.
    [edit interfaces ge-2/3/0 auto-configure vlan-ranges dynamic-profile “Subscriber_Profile_Retail1”]user@host# set accept any
  8. Repeat steps for any other interfaces that you want to use for creating VLANs.
  9. Specify the encapsulation type for the VLAN interfaces.
    [edit interfaces ge-2/3/0]user@host# edit encapsulation flexible-ethernet-services
