To the Extreme switch, the q-in-q frames look like regular q frames. So 
you have to configure the extreme switch to support tagged vlan 544 frames 
on the ports involved.

Other way is to configure the extreme-switches for "vman", ie change the 
.1q ethertype, to for instance 9100. Then the extremes will happily switch 
the q-in-q ethertype 8100 frames as "untagged". This will of course change 
the entire switch behaviour when it comes to vlans.
