I'd check w/ the provider. They may be giving you only 5 VLANs to avoid explaining/configuring QinQ -- remember, most small school environments are limited on their IT knowledge. I bet if you ask, they already support it, or have the gear/people to help with your need. David. On Fri, Jan 6, 20

Hi, We need to purchase some switch that support 1gbit QinQ. Any suggestions ? We need to connect 9 schools together in layer2. All 9 schools have 1gb link from our provider, provider gaves us 5 vlan to work with. We have around 35 vlan in-house. We are low budget. Any recommendation beside QinQ ?
