Multiple 802.1q subinterfaces with the same vlan under the same physical interface

Hi there,

I have a dude I could solve using a lab enviroment but for several
reasons I don't have enought time at this momment, neither I have the
correct equipment here.

I am thinking on collapse several routers configurations in new
equipment, deploying subinterfaces with 802.1q and VRFs.

The situation is that for the same physical interface I would have
several subinterfaces, working in the same vlan but diferent vrf, with
also diferent ip addresses but all of them are in the same subnet.

The question is, is the router going to be enough clever to deliver the
packet in the correct interface? Take note that the IP address use as
destination in the incoming packet is not going to be ip address of the
interface since the router and its vrfs.

I don't know exaclty if I express my idea correctly, I hope that.

Every comment is welcome.

Regards.

This is not going to work. The router needs the vlan tag to associate
the appropriate (sub)interface with the packet, so the vlan tag has to
be unique on the interface (some platforms like the 6500 even ask for a
unique tag per system). VRF association comes later and is based on the
vrf configured on the (sub)interface.
So if you want to consolidate multiple vlan/.1q connections, you will
need to change vlan IDs in order to make them unique.

Lets assume the router was clever enough to do this, the question
would then be: are the switches clever enough to do it? The buck
doesnt stop at the router. :-)

Youve got 4094 VLAN IDs to choose from, go nuts.
