I wonder if this model support vlan stacking command as i read in OS6450 AOS 6.6.5 R02 CLI Reference Guide.pdf ?.

I see the same on a 6450-48.

> ethernet-service svlan 1678
ERROR: Command not supported in this platform.

From the Datasheet it seems as if you need a metro licence for that.

Metro Ethernet access
(features available through Metro license upgrade)
• Ethernet services support per IEEE 802.1ad Provider Bridge
¬ Transparent LAN Services with Service VLAN (SVLAN) and Customer VLAN (CVLAN) concept
¬ Ethernet network-to-network interface (NNI) and user network interface (UNI) services
¬ Service Access Point (SAP) profile identification
¬ CVLAN to SVLAN translation and mapping

I can't verify that as i do not have a metro licenced device here. I do not understand why they did not describe that in the cli guide.

thank you very much devnull ! and if upgrade to Metro license, we have to pay money to Alcatel-Lucent ?

Of course.... you are looking at $500 List Price (- discount) (AFAIK: You need that per Switch, not per stack)

Coming to this a long while later while looking for some information on QinQ config myself and as I noticed there was no definitive answer, just wanted to add that for the 6450 range you do have to buy the metro ethernet license to use QinQ/VLAN stacking - I confirmed this a couple of months back with our supplier.
