            {tpid {0x8100 | 0x88a8 | 0X9100} |
            {component-id <decimal>} |
            {tp-a {internal | external} |
            {tp-a-port {PORT-n, LAG-n} |
            {tp-a-vid <1-4095>} |

            {vid-relay-action {preserve | untag | translate | tag}} }+

Parameters:

Parameter Description
<vce-name> <string>. Unique name associated to the VCE instance.
type Choose the type of VCE component: Customer, Operator, or Tunnel.
tpid The VLAN TPID attributed to this VCE (0x8100, 0x88a8, or 0x9100).
component-id The ID of the Component into which the VCE will be attached. Specifying 0 indicates that the system shall automatically assign a component ID.
tp-a Defines the type of interface tp-a is connected to. The TP can be connected to another VCE (internal) or an external port (external).
tp-a-port Specifies the physical port when tp-a is configured as external.
tp-a-vid For VID values 1-4095, all combinations are allowed. Example: <1-10, 15, 20-25>.
tp-a-pcp-mapping CoS profile name with the type PCP.
tp-z Defines the type of interface tp-z is connected to. The TP can be connected to another VCE (internal) or an external port (external).
tp-z-port Specifies the physical port when tp-z is configured as external.
tp-z-vid It is applicable when 'vid-relay-action' is set to 'translate' or 'tag'. Only a single VID may be specified.
tp-z-pcp-mapping CoS profile name with the type PCP.
frame-type Defines the acceptable frames coming to a VCE.
vid-relay-action Usage is dependent on VCE type. Used to translate tp-a-vid to tp-z-vid when a single VLAN ID is used. If a set of VIDs is provided for 'tp-a-vid', then this parameter must be set to 'preserve'.
When 'all-to-one' is enabled and type is 'Operator' or type is 'Tunnel', the value should be 'tag'.
For all other cases, set as required.
