Hi Arun,

Please find my comments inline,

1. When I send untagged or ctagged packets on veth0, the tshark capture on 
veth2 shows another tag being added with VLAN 100 as expected. However, the 
tpid is "8100" rather than 88a8 as expected.

//In our test bed we are using Spirent as traffic gen and we are able to see 
tpid as “88a8”. Can you share which traffic generator and capture tool you are 
using ?

2. When I try to send packets on veth2, I am not seeing any packets come 
through to veth0.

// If you want to send packets from veth2(trunk mode) to veth0 (trunk-qinq 
mode), you have to send tagged packet (with vlan id as 100 as per your below 
configuration) , otherwise packet will get dropped.

3. Also I would like to change the outer tag to 9100 instead of 88a8. Is this 
possible? I can also make code changes if required.

// Current implementation is based on IEEE standard 802.1ad(tpid 88a8). However 
we have plan to make this configurable then 9100 can be supported. Feel free to 
make necessary code changes to make this configurable and share the source code.


Thanks & Regards,
Gayathri

Hi,

I included the patch https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/584074/ into 
openvswitch-2.4.0 and running the compiled image.

I have configured the below, where veth0 and veth2 are 2 virtual interfaces.

[root@localhost ~]# ovs-vsctl show
92950bce-8b0f-41bc-b197-cd9ed432bb4b
    Bridge "br0"
        Port "veth2"
            Interface "veth2"
        Port "br0"
            Interface "br0"
                type: internal
        Port "veth0"
            Interface "veth0"
[root@localhost ~]#
[root@localhost ~]#
[root@localhost ~]# ovs-vsctl set port veth0 tag=100 vlan_mode=trunk-qinq

The problems that I am seeing are below.

1. When I send untagged or ctagged packets on veth0, the tshark capture on 
veth2 shows another tag being added with VLAN 100 as expected. However, the 
tpid is "8100" rather than 88a8 as expected.

2. When I try to send packets on veth2, I am not seeing any packets come 
through to veth0.

Am I missing something here? Please clarify.

3. Also I would like to change the outer tag to 9100 instead of 88a8. Is this 
possible? I can also make code changes if required.
