Larry,

In other words, vlan 1 is the default native vlan. Even if I shut it
down, it is still there in shutdown state. In the meantime, frames
going thru the trunk port are all tagged and the router doesn't care
if there are untagged frames as long as the router is told which tag
goes on which sub-interface.

In conclusion, native vlan is there all the time even it is shutdown
and not being used. Native vlan(untagged) is not to be defined
mandatory just like ISL.

Correct ?
