The correct answer is A. interface gigabitethernet0/0/1 ethernet dot1ad uni s-port. To implement IEEE 802.1ad (QinQ) on an access port to mark multiple customer VLANs with a single Service VLAN (S-VLAN) tag, the port must be configured as a User-Network Interface (UNI) s-port. This setting enables the port to add an S-VLAN tag to all incoming customer frames.
Question
An engineer is configuring IEEE 802. 1ad on the access port on a new Cisco router. The access port handles traffic from multiple customer VLANs, and it is expected to mark allcustomer traffic to the same VLAN without dropping any traffic. Which configuration must the engineer apply?
Options
- Ainterface gigabitethernet0/0/1 ethernet dot1ad uni s-port
- Binterface gigabitethernet0/0/1 ethernet dot1ad uni c-port
- Cinterface gigabitethernet0/0/1 ethernet dot1ad uni nni
- Dinterface gigabitethernet0/0/1 encapsulation dot1q 10

Why each option
To implement IEEE 802.1ad (QinQ) on an access port to mark multiple customer VLANs with a single Service VLAN (S-VLAN) tag, the port must be configured as a User-Network Interface (UNI) s-port. This setting enables the port to add an S-VLAN tag to all incoming customer frames.
Configuring the interface as an `ethernet dot1ad uni s-port` enables Provider Bridging (QinQ), allowing the router to encapsulate incoming customer traffic (potentially from multiple C-VLANs) with a single Service VLAN (S-VLAN) tag. This directly meets the requirement to mark all customer traffic to the same VLAN without dropping it.
A `uni c-port` is designed to carry customer VLAN traffic but does not add an S-VLAN tag, which is contrary to the requirement of marking all customer traffic to a single provider VLAN.
An `ethernet dot1ad uni nni` (Network-Network Interface) is used for connections between service provider devices, typically already carrying S-VLAN tagged frames. It is not designed to encapsulate customer traffic at the access edge.
The `encapsulation dot1q 10` command configures a standard 802.1q VLAN for the interface or subinterface. This does not implement 802.1ad (QinQ) to add an outer S-VLAN tag to customer traffic.
