IN OFFICIAL JUNIPER DOCUMENTS YOU CAN HARDLY   FIND INFORMATION REGARDING Q-IN-Q VLAN TAGGING CONFIGURATION FOR SRX 210 DEVICES, ALL INFORMATION THEY PROVIDE - ONLY A FEW CONFIGS FOR HI-END DEVICES OR J-SERIES ROUTERS. I highlighted the info that Juniper provides: Q-in-Q tunneling, defined by the IEEE 802.1ad standard, allows service providers on Ethernet access networks to extend a Layer 2 Ethernet connection between two customer sites.  In Q-in-Q tunneling, as a packet travels from a customer VLAN (C-VLAN) to a service provider's VLAN, a service provider-specific 802.1Q tag is added to the packet. This additional tag is used to segregate traffic into service-provider-defined service VLANs (S-VLANs). The original customer 802.1Q tag of the packet remains and is transmitted transparently, passing through the service provider's network. As the packet leaves the S-VLAN in the downstream direction, the extra 802.1Q tag is removed. i Note:  When Q-in-Q tunnelin...
