Re: Confused over the "vlan dot1q tag native" command

Hi there,

Having native vlan tagging, does not mean when the switch receives untagged
frame it will not understand it is for native vlan.
also, when another switch receives tagged traffic for vlan 1, it will just
untag it and it will still work.

the only problem would be if you had different native vlan's on both sides.

Regards,
