+QinQ
+----
+
+QinQ (802.1ad_) — allows multiple VLAN tags to be inserted into a single frame.
+
+QinQ can be used to tunnel vlans in a vlan.
+
+**vif-s** and **vif-c** stand for the ethertype tags that get set:
+
+The inner tag is the tag which is closest to the payload portion of the frame; it is officially called C-TAG (Customer tag, with ethertype 0x8100).
+The outer tag is the one closer/closest to the Ethernet header; its name is S-TAG (Service tag, ethertype 0x88a8).
+
+Configuration commands:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ interfaces
+ ethernet <eth[0-999]>
+ address <ipv4>
+ address <ipv6>
