Re: RE: 3550 and IP Phone Verification

So far I have developed following understanding:

Default on cisco switches is to use PVSTP (per vlan spaning tree). Therefore different ports can be in different native vlans.

For ISL trunking you don't need same native vlan on both side but for dot1q you need same native vlan on both devices.

switchport mode trunk
will for the port to be a trunk and we need to configure native vlan.

switchport access vlan 110
is acceptable to define the default port vlan if mode is not forced to trunk. (if trunk go with native).

Please correct if any of above statement if incorrect.

Thanks,

Navaid
