As you may notice, the only difference is that the VLAN interface is using use-service-tag=yes, this sets the VLAN interface to listen to SVID (IEEE 802.1ad) VLAN tags. This will require you to use the IEEE 802.1ad VLAN tag to access the device using the management VLAN. This means that you will not be able to connect to the device using a CVID VLAN tag while using bridge VLAN filtering, the ether-type is set globally and will have an effect on all bridge VLAN filtering functions.

Warning

Devices with switch chip Marvell-98DX3257 (e.g. CRS354 series) do not support VLAN filtering on 1Gbps Ethernet interfaces for other VLAN types (0x88a8 and 0x9100).

Tag Stacking

In the VLAN Tunnelling setup, we were adding a new VLAN tag that was different from the VLAN tag, but it is possible to add a new VLAN tag regardless of the packet contents. The difference between the regular VLAN tunneling setup is that the bridge does not check if the packet is tagged or untagged, it assumes that all packets that are received on a specific port are all untagged packets and will add a new VLAN tag regardless of whether a VLAN tag is present or not, this is called Tag Stacking since it "stacks" VLAN tags on top of the previous tag, regardless of the VLAN tag type. This is a very common setup for networks that do not support the IEEE 802.1ad standard, but still want to encapsulate VLAN traffic into a new VLAN.
