bridge port-type

To the bridge port type for an interface, use the command bridge port-type in Interface Configuration Mode.

bridge port-type

bridge port-type {customerBridgePort | customerEdgePort | customerNetworkPort {c-tagged | port-based | s-tagged} | propCustomerEdgePort | propCustomerNetworkPort | propProviderNetworkPort | providerNetworkPort | uplinkAccessPort}

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`customerBridgePort`		Enter to set bridge port type as Customer Bridge Port. The port is to be used in customer bridges and in provider (Q-in-Q) bridges. This port type is not valid in PCBs and PEBs
`customerEdgePort`		Enter to set the bridge port type as Customer Edge Port. The port is in a PEB that is connected to a single customer. The packets received on this port are initially classified to a CVLAN. CVLAN classification is done based on the VID in the C-tag present in the packet or from the PVID of the port. Service instance selection is done for a frame based on the entry present in the C-VID registration table for the pair (C-VID, reception port)
`customerNetworkPort`		Enter to set the bridge port type as customer network port.
`c-tagged`		Enter to set the bridge port type as c-tagged.
`port-based`		Enter to set the bridge port type as port-based.
`s-tagged`		Enter to set the bridge port type as s-tagged.
`propCustomerEdgePort`		Enter to set the bridge port type as Proprietary Customer Edge Port. The port is connected to a single customer, where multiple services can be provided based on only proprietary SVLAN classification tables. S-VLAN classification is not done based on C-VID registration table on the port.
`propCustomerNetworkPort`		Enter to set bridge port type as Proprietary Customer Network Port. The port is connected to a single customer, where multiple service can be provided based on CVLANs by assigning one of the proprietary SVLAN classification tables to the port. The services can also be assigned using other proprietary SVLAN classification tables, where CVLAN is not the index of the table.
`propProviderNetworkPort`		Enter to set bridge port type as Proprietary Provider Network Port. The port is connected to a Q-in-Q bridge located inside the provider network. The port acts as a part of S-VLAN component. The packets to be tagged and sent out of the port contain 0x8100 as its Ethertype. The packets received with standard Q tag is considered as S-Tagged packet.
providerNetworkPort		Enter to set the bridge port type as provider network port. This option is applicable in provider bridges and provider backbone b-component bridge modes. The port is connected to a single provider.
uplinkAccessPort		Enter to set a port on a Port-mapping S-VLAN component that connects an EVB Bridge with an EVB Station

Mode

Interface Configuration Mode

Default

providerNetworkPort for provider core and edge bridges.
customerBridgePort for customer bridges.

Prerequisites

Tunneling must be enabled to change port type from Provider Network Port.
Tunneling must be disabled to change port type to Provider Network Port.
Port must be administratively down for changing to another port type.
Bridge port-type is supported only in the following Bridge Modes:
- Provide Edge Bridge
- Provider Core Bridge
- Provider Backbone Bridge I Component
- Provider Backbone Bridge B Component
In case of Provider Bridge or Customer Bridge, bridge port type will always be customerBridgePort. CustomerEdgePort is valid only in Provider Edge Bridge.
All other port types excluding customerBridgePort and customerEdgePort are valid in both Provide Edge Bridge and Provider Core Bridge.
Bridge port type can be set only for switch ports and not for router ports, IVR interfaces and I-LAN interfaces.
The port type cannot be set for a port-channel port, if physical ports are aggregated in the port-channel.
The port type cannot be set for a port that is part of a port-channel.
