[f-nsp] running vpls with multiple vlans on CES2000

[Moriniaux Michel]

Hello all,
Ran into this exact problem about six months ago.
>From what I understood, Tagged mode does not change the behavior of MAC
address tables, what it does is keep the 802.1Q encapsulation instead of
stripping it at ingress and rewriting it at egress.

The only way seems to be QinQ as previously stated.

Best regards,
Michel Moriniaux
