2.3.3 How to Configure L2VPN VLAN on a Service Line

L2VPN VLAN configuration is available only on Service Lines with an active L2VPN subscription plan. For standard plans, the VLAN configuration interface is not exposed. See Section 3 — L2VPN for full architecture context.

Access the VLAN configuration:

    

  1. Navigate to the Service Line Details page
  2. In the Devices and Telemetry section, locate the L2VPN configuration button adjacent to the User Terminals
  3. The button is inactive unless the Service Line is on an L2VPN plan — confirm the subscription plan if the button does not appear
  4. Click the button to open the VLAN configuration dialog

            

Configure a VLAN mapping:

  1. Review the Orbius-allocated VLAN ranges for your account (provided by Orbius during L2VPN onboarding)
  2. Select the VLAN tagging type: Single Tag (802.1Q) or Q-in-Q (802.1ad) 
  3. Select the Point of Presence (PoP) where traffic should be delivered (e.g., Miami, London)   
  4. Enter the required VLAN identifiers:
    1. C-VLAN only for Single Tag;
    2. both C-VLAN and S-VLAN for Q-in-Q
5.     Click Save, the mapping can be modified at any time

            

VLAN validation rules:

•      A maximum of 2 VLAN mappings can be configured per User Terminal; each mapping can hold multiple VLANs (including ranges)
  1. Single Tag: C-VLAN must fall within your Orbius-allocated range and be unique per terminal
  2. Q-in-Q: C-VLAN must be unique per terminal (1–4094); S-VLAN must be unique and from your allocated S-VLAN ranges

•      Orbius validates entries against allocated ranges; IDs outside your range will be rejected

 

📌  Note:

VLAN IDs outside your allocated range will be rejected at save. Contact support@orbius.com to request additional VLAN range allocation.
