I avoid the EX3300 because it requires a feature license for q-in-q
tunneling. Even HP has stopped doing that.

Personally I find it confusing that feature licenses are so different
across the EX series. It is probably unavoidable that not all hardware
is equally capable feature-wise, but checking for which features need a
license on which box is a bit of a nightmare. Not as bad as a certain
other vendor, but still.
