Hi,

I think Tim is aiming at the "vlan dot1q tag native" command, which makes It
possible to tag every VLAN with .1q even the native VLAN.

@Tim: Please correct me if you didn't mean this feature.

Regards,
Henk

Tim,

I might be missing something here, is there other ways of
changing/specifying the native vlan in a dot1q vtp domain? I know of ways to
manipulate the native vlan, untag/tag it, etc but I can't seem to think of
another way of changing the native vlan from the default than to use the
'switchport trunk' command. eg, lets say one have a task like......

Task: 1.1
Configure a dot1q VTP domain between SW1 & SW2, make VLAN 46 the native
VLAN, do not use the 'switchport trunk native vlan' command to accomplish
this task?

Which other method(s) can be use to accomplish this task?

Thanks.
