As long as I'm inventing features - you know what would really help? The ability to "re-stack" QinQ VLANs on one of these inexpensive devices, then it wouldn't be such a problem to use cheaper switches on the edge, and do MPLS VPNs on your aggregators.
If I could take vlan X,Y, and Z from outer VLAN N, then make a new outer VLAN L from VLAN X & Y only and put VLAN Z into outer VLAN M. Or at the very least if I could make an access port from one of the inner Q's in a QinQ VLAN.... that'd even help! Rubens Kuhl Jr. wrote: > Only 3750 Metro supports MPLS, badly.
