• Rewrite Push 1 tag operation is not supported for encapsulations with double tag.
• Rewrite Push 2 tag operation is not supported for encapsulations with single or double tag.
• Translate rewrite operations are not supported for encapsulations, such as untagged, any, default, and for encapsulations involving VLAN range and list.

Command Modes

Interface configuration (config-if)

Command History

Release	Modification
9.3.0	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

A service instance is a configuration object that holds all the management and control-plane attributes and parameters that apply to that service instance on a per-port basis. Different service instances that correspond to the same EVC must share the same name. Service instances are associated with a global EVC object through their shared name.

Examples

The following example shows how to define an Ethernet service instance and enter Ethernet service configuration mode for an EVC:

Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface TenGigabitEthernet 4/1
Router(config-if)# service instance 101 ethernet
Router(config-if-srv)#
