Syntax Description: Encapsulation Dot1q

To enable IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation on a subinterface, use the "encapsulation dot1q" command along with a VLAN ID. This assigns the subinterface to a VLAN for interconnecting multiple switches and defining VLAN topologies using the IEEE 802.1Q standard protocol. The command is used in subinterface configuration mode to apply a VLAN tag to traffic on that subinterface.

Usage Guidelines
IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation is configurable on Ethernet and EtherChannel interfaces. IEEE 802.1Q is a standard protocol for int erconnecting multiple switches and routers and for defining VLAN topologies.

Use the encapsulation dot1q command in subinterface range configuration mode to apply a VLAN ID to the subinterface.

Note This command is not applicable to loopback interfaces.

This command does not require a license.

Examples
This example shows how to enable dot1Q encapsulation on a subinterface for VLAN 30:

switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/5.1

switch(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 30

switch(config-subif)#
