Hi,

 It seems like I can't get the native VLAN to work. As shown below
I have two sub-interfaces configured on R4, vlan 10 and vlan 555. if the
sub-interfaces are configured as trunk ports and the switchport is
configured as trunk port I can ping the 10.10.10.201 and 131.10.160.5 (R5
connected to switch 3). If I change the sub-interface on R4 (e0/1.10 ) to
mark vlan 10 as native and change the config on switch 4 to mark the vlan 10
as native. I can't ping 10.10.10.201 address, but I can still ping vlan 555
ok.
Can somebody spot the issue. (This is from one of the NMC documents).

Thanks

R4: (R4 connected to Switch 4)

interface Ethernet0/1
 no ip address
 half-duplex
!
interface Ethernet0/1.10
 encapsulation dot1Q 10
 ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
 no snmp trap link-status

interface Ethernet0/1.555
 encapsulation dot1Q 555
 ip address 131.10.160.1 255.255.255.0
 no snmp trap link-status

SW4:

 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk

 ip address 10.10.10.201 255.255.255.0

interface FastEthernet0/5
 switchport access vlan 555
 switchport mode access

Ping from R4;

Rack9SW4#ping 10.10.10.201

Sending 1, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.10.10.201, timeout is 2 seconds:

Now change the config on R4 and SW4 to make VLAN 10 native.

R4:

interface Ethernet0/1.10
 encapsulation dot1Q 10 native
 ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
 no snmp trap link-status
end

SW4:

interface FastEthernet0/4
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk native vlan 10
 switchport mode trunk
end

Ping from R4:

Rack9R4#ping 10.10.10.201

Type escape sequence to abort.

debug on the route R4 indicates encapsulation failure when vlan 10 is made
native.
