802.1q tunneling又叫做QinQ，能利用隧道技术，让服务供应商（ISP）仅用一个VLAN来支持客户端的多个VLAN，从而防止多客户存在而很快消耗掉4096个VLAN上限。QinQ技术通过配置隧道端口(tunnel port)，并通过对传入ISP的封包进行双TAG处理，以在ISP端传输。该技术所建立的连接被称为非对称连接，因为一端是tunnel口，另一端可能是trunk口或者路由器子接口。

配置如下：

Customer1:

interface FastEthernet1/0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
interface Vlan14
ip address 14.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
interface Vlan41
ip address 41.0.0.1 255.255.255.0

Customer2:

interface FastEthernet1/0/17
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
interface Vlan14
ip address 14.0.0.2 255.255.255.0
interface Vlan41
ip address 41.0.0.2 255.255.255.0

ISP：

system mtu 1504
interface FastEthernet0/14
switchport access vlan 100
switchport mode dot1q-tunnel
l2protocol-tunnel cdp
l2protocol-tunnel stp
l2protocol-tunnel vtp
no cdp enable
interface FastEthernet0/23
switchport access vlan 100
switchport mode dot1q-tunnel
l2protocol-tunnel cdp
l2protocol-tunnel stp
l2protocol-tunnel vtp
no cdp enable

实验结果：

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 14.0.0.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/9 ms
Customer1#ping 41.0.0.2

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 41.0.0.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/8 ms

　　实验结果证明了802.1q tunneling的连通性和透明性。
如果MTU的值使用默认的1500的话，或者刚刚配好tunnel口的话，系统会弹出信息：

System MTU of 1500 might be insufficient for 802.1Q tunnelling.
802.1Q tunnelling requires system MTU size of 1504 to handle maximum size ethernet frames.
