[AusNOG] Cheap Q-in-Q Switch Recommendations

[Reuben Farrelly]

You may want to look at a device like the Cisco ME3600X switch, which 
will give you lots of knobs and options to handle this sort of traffic, 
either terminating double-tagged sessions, rewriting the dot1q tags, 
vlan significance per port etc.

They aren't overly expensive and would definitely be recommended over a 
setup involving fudging around with floor/access switching products that 
weren't really designed to do this sort of thing..

How can I get to a scenario where I can strip the outer VLAN ID's and trunk the inner VLAN's to my next device e.g:
