Configuration Examples of Supported Features
However, when encapsulations do not match in the same bridge domain, traffic cannot be forwarded. In
this example, the service instances on Gigabit Ethernet 0/1 and 0/2 can not forward between each other,
since the encapsulations don’t match (filtering criteria). However, you can use the rewrite command to
allow communication between these two.
Router (config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Router (config-if)# service instance 1 Ethernet
Router (config-if-srv)# encapsulation dot1q 10
Router (config-if-srv)# bridge-domain 4000
Router (config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Router (config-if)# service instance 1 Ethernet
Router (config-if-srv)# encapsulation dot1q 99
Router (config-if-srv)# bridge-domain 4000
Example: Rewrite
In this example, a packet that matches the encapsulation will have one tag removed (popped off). The
symmetric keyword allows the reverse direction to have the inverse action: a packet that egresses out
this service instance will have the encapsulation (VLAN 10) added (pushed on).
Router (config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Router (config-if)# service instance 1 Ethernet
Router (config-if-srv)# encapsulation dot1q 10
Router (config-if-srv)# rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
Router (config-if-srv)# bridge-domain 4000
Example: Split Horizon
In this example, service instances 1 and 2 cannot forward and receive packets from each other. Service
instance 3 can forward traffic to any service instance in bridge domain 4000 since it has not joined any
split-horizon groups.
Router (config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Router (config-if)# service instance 1 Ethernet
Router (config-if-srv)# encapsulation dot1q 10
Router (config-if-srv)# rewrite ingress pop 1 symmetric
Router (config-if-srv)# bridge-domain 4000 split-horizon group 1
Router (config-if-srv)# exit
Router (config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Router (config-if)# service instance 2 Ethernet
Router (config-if-srv)# encapsulation dot1q 99
Router (config-if-srv)# rewrite ingress pop 1 symmetric
Router (config-if-srv)# bridge-domain 4000 split-horizon group 1
Router (config-if-srv)# exit
Router (config)# interface gigabitethernet0/3
Router (config-if)# service instance 3 Ethernet
Router (config-if-srv)# encapsulation dot1q 99
Router (config-if-srv)# rewrite ingress pop 1 symmetric
Router (config-if-srv)# bridge-domain 4000
Router (config-if-srv)# exit
