VLAN-VPN (Virtual Private Network) function, the implement of a simple and flexible Layer 2 VPN technology, allows the packets with VLAN tags of private networks to be encapsulated with VLAN tags of public networks at the network access terminal of the Internet Service Provider. And these packets will be transmitted with double-tag across the public networks.

Now let´s learn how to configure the VLAN VPN on L2/L3 Managed Switches by the following example:

Network Topology:

As we can see,VLAN 2 is the private network while VLAN 20 is the public network, we are going to achieve the purpose that two Terminals can communicate with each other. The Provider Edge(T-3700G) encapsulate the private network’s datagram with outer layer tag and packets transmitted with double tags in Public Network.
