Yes, I guess "encapsulation failure" does not mean "trunk failure" at all !!
I would have lost all the points in a simple question :((

immediately thought "native vlan." Reading further, I took it to mean
"trunk encapsulation failure."

I guess I still have a pretty good grasp of Cisco's pidgin "CCIE
English." ;)
