Press [Y] to continue and automatically configure both ports as port-type
'provider-network' (the default for all S-VLAN member ports).
Configuring Port-Types
When QinQ is enabled on the switch all S-VLAN member ports must be
categorized as either port-type customer-network or provider-network (see
Figure 7-5).
Customer facing ports
must be configured as
'customer-network' ports

Figure 7-5. Example of Customer or Provider Ports in the Provider Network
All ports of a QinQ enabled device default to 'provider-network'. Any ports
participating in the provider bridge that are used to connect to customer
equipment, must be manually configured as port-type 'customer-network'. In
a mixed mode device, ports that are members of C-VLANs and that do not
participate in the provider-bridge cannot be configured to any port-type.
The following command allows you to configure the appropriate port-type.
Syntax: [no] interface qinq port-type

Configures the specified ports/trunks as a customer network port
or provider network port.
Default: port-type provider (for QinQ svlan mode)

Core Switch
Ports inside the provider network that participate
in the provider bridge (including uplink ports)
must be configured as 'provider-network' ports
(the default for all QinQ enabled devices)
