Hi, my english not very well, so I need to make sure the I am
understand what it said:

1.If a downstream switch does not process a port in a VLAN that your
switch is advertising, you are responsible for making sure that your
switch does not propagate broadcast traffic for those VLANs.

2.Create VLANs 10,20,30,40,55,70 and 100. Name each VLAN; VLAN_A,
VLAN_B. etc.

3.Configure the two interfaces connecting the 3550's to appear as 1
link to STP, If either of the interface is damaged, both switches
should actively manage one-way links.

5.This link should allow all VLANs to travel across with their VLAN ID
in tact. You can not use Cisco Proprietary protocol to archive this.
Every packet that traverses the link must have the VLAN ID, no
exceptions.

6.Only allow the defined VLANs across this link.

So I will configure a port group with a 802.1q trunk mode and make sure
that link has a native VLAN tag for un-tag traffic packets, but does
that mean I can use VLAN 1 ? or VLAN 10 as the native VLAN. and just
allow the define VLAN traffic passthrough the switch, does it need
include VLAN 1 ?

Sincerely,
Tasuka
