Hi all,

  I have been reading over 
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3550/software/release/12.2_44_se/configuration/guide/swtunnel.html#wp1014851
 10 times by now, and I am still unsure of the difference.

I have tried to set up a lab to test some stuff out, it consists of 4 
switches:

  SW3 is connected to SW1 and SW4.
  SW4 is connected to SW3 and SW2
  and SW1 and SW2 are connected.

I want SW3 to see SW4 through SW1 and SW2. To accomplish this, i have 
set up a vlan (13) on both SW1 and SW2, then an access port on each with 
vlan 13 is connected to SW3 and SW4 respectively. On top of this, i use 
l2protocol-tunnel on each of these interfaces. I was expecting CDP 
traffic to flow from SW3 to SW1, through the trunk between SW1 and SW2, 
and from SW2 to SW4. But this does not happen.

I think generally im confused between the difference between QinQ and l2 
protocol tunneling. Can someone shed some light on this or maybe point 
me in the correct direction through some documentation apart from the 
above Cisco Doc...

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Kim Pedersen
