Configuring a nondefault TPID

About this task

Perform the following steps to configure a nondefault TPID. The interface can be a port or a port-channel (LAG).

Procedure

Do the following to configure a nondefault TPID on an Ethernet interface.

Enter global configuration mode.
```
device# configuration terminal
```
Enter interface configuration mode and specify an Ethernet interface.
```
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
```
Use the tag-type command to configure the TPID.
```
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# tag-type 0x9100 
```
By default, all interfaces in the system have default TPID value of 0x8100.

Enter the show interface ethernet command to confirm the configuration.

To revert to the default TPID value, enter the no tag-type command.
```
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# no tag-type 
```

You can achieve the same result by configuring a tag-type of 0x8100.

Do the following to configure a nondefault TPID on a port-channel interface.

Enter global configuration mode.
```
device# configuration terminal
```
Enter interface configuration mode and specify a port-channel interface.
```
device(config)# interface port-channel 20
```
Use the tag-type command to configure the TPID.
```
device(config-Port-channel-20)# tag-type 0x88a8 
```
By default, all interfaces in the system have default TPID value of 0x8100.

Enter the show interface port-channel command to confirm the configuration.

device# show interface port-channel 20
