Hi,
Yes, both fa0/19 and fa0/20 are connected via crossover and I realize
that the default port mode is dynamic desirable.
Thanks for pointing out that this error probably has nothing to do with
the ISL trunk on fa0/19. So I guess what you are saying is that if I
configure one side for "switchport mode access" then the other side
won't like it, since it is still in dynamic mode trying to trunk? That
makes sense.
But I'd still like to understand clearly what the reference to a "Native
VLAN" is all about in that error message.
Here's a wild guess.
By default the Native VLAN is 1 on the dynamic desirable unconfigured
port, which it evidently makes a point of advertising to the other side.
When you lock the other side to VLAN 2 (access mode), the unconfigured
port gets upset because its former "trunk-mate" won't advertise VLAN 1
any more.
Well, it's a theory, anyway.
Any thoughts?

jonathan,
The error seems to be on fa0/20 on both the switches NOT fa0/19:
00:19:24: %CDP-4-NATIVE_VLAN_MISMATCH: Native VLAN mismatch discovered
> on FastEthernet0/20 (2), with S1_3550 FastEthernet0/20 (1).
These devices have trunking on desirable by default check the S1_3550 if
it's trunking.
