Wonder if someone can advise...
What is the benefit of using a native vlan on a trunk. If you don't
define a native vlan on a trunk, I believe it uses vlan 1 as the native
vlan to pass the untag management traffic..
If you do define a native vlan, it will use that vlan to pass all the
untagged traffic... and you need to match it on both ends...
Also I believe there is a command to the effect that you can configure
native vlan to send tagged traffic as well.. dot1q tag native or
something....
But what is the benefit of configuring a native vlan vs . not
configuring one at all..
Does it have any other benefit, besides specifying what vlan to send
untagged traffic ?
Please help. Thanks in advance..
