(just to answer the previous emails - yes, this is the correct setup, i have the right ports etc, i am not trying to encapsulate the customer. consider that i may need a setup like that where i connect with different devices or if i need to qinq through something in the middle or if i want to vlan to a third party who cant use my tag-type)
Jorik, thanks I think the issue in question then is ability to 'translate' although I am not sure why this is a feature since it seems to me that getting the correct ethernet header in place should be part of the basic switching capability! I am using 05.1.00c - I am also wondering if this is fixed in later versions. Anyone out there trying this tag translation with later versions?
