There is a command on 3550 ("dot1q tag native" or something alone this
lines) which will make 3550 to send frames on the native VLAN of dot1q trunk
with the tug.
Best regards,
Alexei

Subject: 3550 reconciling requirement to solution
Hi,
2 3550's are connected back to back via Fa0/23 and 0/24 ports on both Cat's.
The requirement is this:
Config the 2 interfaces (Fa0/23 and Fa0/24) connecting the 3550's to appear
as 1 link to STP....
This link should allow all vlan's to travel across with their vlan ID
intact. You can not use Cisco's proprietary protocol to achieve this. Every
packet that traverses the link must have the vlan ID, no exceptions.
I'm OK with everything except the last 2 words, "no exceptions". Since we
can't use ISL, 802.1q has to be used, but that means packets in the native
vlan aren't tagged and thus don't have a vlan ID. The solution is below,
but I'm hoping someone can explain how that solution meets the above
requirement and maybe what would be a good way to think through this
problem.
Thanks, dt
