Hi, I remember seeing something similar in the past. In my case, I saw
some references in the inline-help to ISL on a switch that only supports
dot1q. I think it was a 3500-xl switch.

My best guess is that they didn't clean up all the code when they
switched from isl to dot1q...

Subject: A strange DTP infomation ???

Hi group,
I have 2 switchs: Cat2950 and Cat3550 connected via Fa0/10 On my
cat2950, i configure port fa0/10 to mode dynamic auto and the other end
with dynamic desirable. The trunking works fine but when i look at dtp
information, i see something strange:

DTP information for FastEthernet0/10:
  TOS/TAS/TNS: TRUNK/DESIRABLE/TRUNK
<---trunking is on
  TOT/TAT/TNT: 802.1Q/802.1Q/802.1Q
<---encap dot1q
But int the statistics:
2204 native, 2204 software encap isl, 0 isl hardware native <-----what
does this mean: 2204 packets encap isl ? ---->

we all know that cat2950 does not support isl, so what does this
infomation mean ?

Thanks
