There is a head office, there are several vlans on our network (about 10 vlans), there is a server switch (cisco 3560), a branch has recently opened, there is also a switch (cisco 2950t) in the new branch. The provider does not provide QinQ support for VPNL2 access. How to be? Since the new branch must have exactly the same vlans as in the head one. and actually ports on a switch I cannot configure on trunk.

would kill.
Okay, when temporary crutches are molded for production, but to drag miserable practices into new projects ...
what prevents you from building connectivity over L3 with a branch? What services in 2019 are not able to use L3?
but if you really want a pack of vlans over any tarnsport, throw it through MPLS or VXLANs, you
will have to find newer equipment

So make QinQ at home. I didn’t look at your hardware versions, but you can do it somehow through the magic-cable loop (if your hardware supports it).
