Larry,

What if I set up HSRP and sub interfaces on both routers without defining
native and vlan 1 shutdown ? In my router on a stick scenario, it worked.
Any idea ?

R1(vlan3,8)===========|vlan3,8(dot1q trunk w/o native)
|---------------3550EMI---------------
R2(vlan3,8)===========|vlan3,8(dot1q trunk w/o native)

Thanks,
Ed Lui
