"VLAN manipulation action in tc" 8 "12 Jan 2015" "iproute2" "Linux"
NAME
vlan - vlan manipulation module
SYNOPSIS
tc " ... " "action vlan" " { " pop " |" PUSH " | " MODIFY " } [ " CONTROL " ]"
PUSH " := " push " [ " protocol VLANPROTO " ]" " [ " priority VLANPRIO " ] " id " VLANID"
MODIFY " := " modify " [ " protocol VLANPROTO " ]" " [ " priority VLANPRIO " ] " id " VLANID"
CONTROL " := { " reclassify " | " pipe " | " drop " | " continue " | " pass " | " goto " " chain " " CHAIN_INDEX " }" DESCRIPTION
The
vlan action allows to perform 802.1Q en- or decapsulation on a packet, reflected by
the operation modes
POP ", " PUSH " and " MODIFY . The
POP mode is simple, as no further information is required to just drop the
outer-most VLAN encapsulation. The
PUSH " and " MODIFY modes require at least a
VLANID and allow to optionally choose the
VLANPROTO to use.
OPTIONS
pop Decapsulation mode, no further arguments allowed.
push Encapsulation mode. Requires at least
id option.
modify Replace mode. Existing 802.1Q tag is replaced. Requires at least
id option.
id " VLANID" Specify the VLAN ID to encapsulate into.
VLANID is an unsigned 16bit integer, the format is detected automatically (e.g. prefix
with
' 0x ' for hexadecimal interpretation, etc.).
protocol " VLANPROTO" Choose the VLAN protocol to use. At the time of writing, the kernel accepts only
802.1Q " or " 802.1ad .
priority " VLANPRIO" Choose the VLAN priority to use. Decimal number in range of 0-7.
CONTROL How to continue after executing this action.
reclassify Restarts classification by jumping back to the first filter attached to this
action's parent.
pipe Continue with the next action, this is the default.
drop Packet will be dropped without running further actions.
continue Continue classification with next filter in line.
pass Return to calling qdisc for packet processing. This ends the classification
process.
EXAMPLES
The following example encapsulates incoming ICMP packets on eth0 from 10.0.0.2
into VLAN ID 123:
.EX
#tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
#tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: pref 11 protocol ip \\
u32 match ip protocol 1 0xff flowid 1:1 \\
u32 match ip src 10.0.0.2 flowid 1:1 \\
action vlan push id 123
Here is an example of the
pop function: Incoming VLAN packets on eth0 are decapsulated and the classification
process then restarted for the plain packet:
.EX
#tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
#tc filter add dev $ETH parent ffff: pref 1 protocol 802.1Q \\
u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:1 \\
action vlan pop reclassify
