Hi,

QinQ on the QFX and all the other boxes running the ELS style is a bit
of an abomination.

VLANs configured with extended-vlan-bridge interfaces are forwarded
using a different daemon than VLANs forwarded using the
classic ethernet-switching daemon.

It's quite likely that you cannot share VLAN IDs between the two methods of forwarding.

I would bug Juniper about this, but I wouldn't expect them to be able to
fix it.

Best regards,
