    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:<br>
    <br>
    <big><big>Specifying an untagged endpoint</big></big><br>
    <br>
    To specify an untagged endpoint for a VPLS instance, enter commands
    such as the following.<br>
    <br>
    <font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Brocade(config-mpls)#
      vpls v1 40000<br>
      Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-v1)# vlan 100<br>
      Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-v1-vlan-100)# untagged ethernet 2/1</font><br>
    <br>
    <b>Syntax: [no] untagged [ethernet] portnum</b><br>
    <br>
    NOTE<br>
    Foundry Discovery Protocol (FDP) must not be enabled on an untagged
    VPLS or VLL endpoint.<br>
