Hi everyone.

I am trying to make a network topology as follows

The idea is to try to get the ip's of vlan 2 and 4 to the other end through an epipe or vpls using qinq on the ports of the Nokia router that connects to the sw_cisco.
I have the following configurations

switch

Code: Select all

interface Ethernet0/0
 description to_nokia_A
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,4
 switchport mode trunk
 duplex auto

Code: Select all

interface Ethernet0/1
 description pc1_vlan2
 switchport access vlan 2
 switchport mode access
 duplex auto

Router

Code: Select all

A:Nokia_A# configure port 1/1/4 
A:Nokia_A>config>port# info 
----------------------------------------------
        ethernet
            mode access
            encap-type qinq
        exit
        no shutdown
----------------------------------------------
A:Nokia_A>config>port#

Code: Select all

A:Nokia_A# show service sdp 

============================================================================

                no shutdown
            exit
            spoke-sdp 109:10 create
                no shutdown
            exit
            no shutdown
------------------------

I have tried to change the sap as 1/1/4:10.* but it doesn't work. I can only ping one vlan at a time (with the configuration above).
My question is, is what I am trying to do achievable or is there something missing to make it work?
Any ideas are welcome, thanks

Try to change the sap to *.*

Hello, thank you for the reply.
I tried but it is not possible.

Code: Select all

*A:Nokia_A>config>service>epipe# sap 1/1/4:*.* create 
MINOR: SVCMGR #1611 Invalid encapsulation value for the port's encapsulation type - SAP *.* is not supported
*A:Nokia_A>config>service>epipe#

have you considered using null encapsulated sap on epipe. then define vlans on the switches sap end

If you want only one e-pipe, you have to change the encapsulation on Nokia devices from QinQ to Null, and use sap 1/1/4.
If you can live with one epipe per VLAN, just create:
epipe 2
sap 1/1/4:2.*

epipe 4
sap 1/1/4:4.*

Or change ports on Nokia towards switches to dot1q, and skip the .* in the sap's.

Thanks for your help, now the topology is working.
Those configurations I had not tried, I was only using QinQ encapsulation.

I hope the topic will help someone else as well.
