Hi, thanks for the reply.

For my purposes I need to terminate the VLANs on the Cisco CPE, rather than
pass through, as such I have not looked at alternative equipment, other
than devices that can potentially serve as FTTC VDSL2 Modems, to sit in
front of a Cisco CPE.

It is disappointing that Cisco do not seem to have implemented q-in-q
support on the Ethernet0 interface, on the 887 or 897.
