Youssef,
Can't you specify an untagged VPLS end-point for the customer-facing
port, and then supplement it with the tag-type 9100? This is the way
you'd do it on a VLL, it makes sense to have it work that way on VPLS
too. Copying from the manual:
Specifying an untagged endpoint
To specify an untagged endpoint for a VPLS instance, enter commands such
as the following.
Brocade(config-mpls)# vpls v1 40000
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-v1)# vlan 100
Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-v1-vlan-100)# untagged ethernet 2/1
*Syntax: [no] untagged [ethernet] portnum*
NOTE
Foundry Discovery Protocol (FDP) must not be enabled on an untagged VPLS
or VLL endpoint.
Best regards,
Martijn
