    2424For 802.1q VLANs and 802.ad QinQ VLANs the !EtherType is actually a "Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID)" that, along with other tagging information, is inserted after the frame's source MAC address field. As this TPID is at the same byte offset as the original !EtherType field, it is common to refer to this field as the !EtherType field when discussing VLANs. The image below illustrates this distinction. Each tag adds 4 Bytes of data to the Ethernet frame.

    129 Verify that a given DUT's QinQ port sends double-tagged QinQ frames in the expected format. For switches to understand that the trunking mechanism is a QinQ VLAN trunk the Ethernet's Header must contain the appropriate QinQ header field  type indication (0x8a88).

    136136 * HP: cvlans and svlans are used to distinguish port type. svlan trunk (QinQ) ports use the 0x88a8 value.
    137  * NEC: configures a QinQ trunk-port explicitly with the setting "switch dot1q ethertype 8a88" for a given port.

    138138 * CISCO: The access port for the QinQ portion needs configured for QinQ, the QinQ trunk (ES) port is configured with 0x88a8.

    387 VLAN 128 is capable of being sent out port 1, however it's tagged type is "0x8a88" (service VLAN), "not 0x8100" (customer VLAN). This implies that the Switch on the other side  of the trunk must be a service VLAN; sending the VLAN as a "normal" VLAN isn't possible in this configuration. This implies that A port is either dedicated for normal dot1q or qinq - but can't do both.

    636 VLAN 128 is capable of being sent out ES port 1, however it's tagged type is "0x8a88" (service VLAN), "not 0x8100" (customer VLAN). This implies that the Switch on the other side of the trunk must be a service VLAN; sending the VLAN as a "normal" VLAN isn't possible in this configuration. This is the same behavior as the NEC switch.
