Elliot,

In case you're not aware of this, once pruning is enabled, by default, all
vlans are prune eligible - that is any and all vlans will be pruned that
meet the condition needed for pruning. If there are some vlans which you
don't want to be pruned under any circumstances, you need to edit the prune
eligible list.

See this link for details:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/c3550/12120ea2/3550scg/swvlan.htm#wp1221846

Also, notice that each trunk can have it's own prune eligible list which is
independent of any prune eligible list applicable to other trunks and the
list is configured under an interface configured as a trunk.

Off-hand, I don't recall if the command should be or needs to be configured
on both sides of the trunk link or on which side of the trunk link it should
be configured on.

HTH, Tim
