RE: 3550 reconciling requirement to solution

Sorry for the confusion.

Although this solution does not use "vlan dot1q tag native", I think it
would also be acceptable as a solution to this task.

The solution below prevents untagged traffic by not allowing vlan 999 on
the trunk. The command "switchport trunk native vlan 999" changes the
native vlan on the trunk, hence all of the ALLOWED VLANs would be
tagged. Remember, only the NATIVE vlan is untagged. Since the native
vlan has been changed from vlan 1 to vlan 999, traffic on vlan1 would be
tagged crossing the trunk because vlan 1 is no longer the native vlan.

Make sense?

I'm sorry. I clicked "send" too soon and forgot to include the solution.
I
sent the solution right afterwards. And, in the solution, there's no
command like "dot1q tag native".

interface Port-channel1
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk native vlan 999
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10,20,30,40,55,70,100
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address

interface FastEthernet0/23
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk native vlan 999
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10,20,30,40,55,70,100
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address
 udld enable
 channel-group 1 mode on
!
interface FastEthernet0/24
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk native vlan 999
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10,20,30,40,55,70,100
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address
 udld enable
 channel-group 1 mode on

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

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
