Funny this should come up. I was just talking to a friend about an hour
ago who's having trouble passing traffic between two sites that are both
connecting to a metro-e network with dot1q trunks between them. He's
using VLAN1 as his default vlan for all the data (yeah I know), and has
been having problems passing traffic on that vlan. The first think I
told him to try was tagging the native vlan on his edge switches. I
think he's going to try it tonight or sometime within the next couple of
days. I'll keep you updated.

Hi Mr Sadiq and other Experts,

Thanks a lot for your advice. I was thinking the same thing with you..
   
  However when I'm doing this Graded Mock Lab, I did the dot1q tunnel
and add the native vlan tagging as requested (everything works fine).
And on the report sheet the Proctor told me that I should configure the
Native VLAN on the other switches (Customer Switches) too. Eventhough
not explicitly tasked.
   
  If I may further request for your kind advices, in your experience is
there any possible requirement outside the Dot1Q tunnel (in scope of
CCIE R&S Lab Exam) that may implicitly lead to the configuration of
Dot1Q Native VLAN tagging?
   
  Thanks again for your advices.

  Hi Johan,

It is not a requirement to configure the customer switches to tag
native VLANs in a setup like that one. Find more information about
that here:
