David,

        802.1Q doesn't tag VLAN 1 frames. If you want to access VLAN 1 from
the router, apply the layer 3 addresses to the physical interface. Although
I've been told by a Cisco insider that this isn't recommended. I can't
remember the reason though. I think you're better off just not using VLAN
1. At least in a production environment.

Subject: Dot1Q trunk vs ISL trunk

In the test lab, Ive 2 VLANs (Vlan 1 & 2) on catalyst
2912XL setup, with dot1Q trunks to a Cisco router. The
router has 2 subinterfaces corresponding to the vlans
(see config below). There is a token ring at the other
end of the router. The problem is that with dot1Q the
hosts on t ring cant talk to hosts on VLAN1 on the
cat. But if I replace the dot1 with ISL trunk then it
works fine.

Im being told that with dot1q I need an extra vlan to
make it work. Any ideas why? & what config changes are
needed.

Thanks a lot
