Hi

The VLAN files in ISL header is 15 bits long, but I heard that only 10 bits
could be used and it can support VLANs from 1-1024.

But I just LAB it up.
R2(f0/0)-------(f0/2)_SW2_(f0/13)------ISL-TRUNK-------(f0/13)_SW1_(f0/1)---
---(f0/0)R1
R1 , R2 are in VLAN 3000

SW1

Rack1SW1(config)#do sh int trunk

Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan
Fa0/13 desirable isl trunking 1

Port Vlans allowed on trunk
Fa0/13 1-4094
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<=============================================

Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain
Fa0/13 1,3000

Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned
Fa0/13 1,3000

Rack1SW1(config)#do show spann vlan 3000

And they can ping each other.

Hi,
In the above section the VLAN's have to be manually allowed on ISL trunks as
it would behave if VTP pruning was Enabled.

In solution guide, he has allowed VLAN 3003, on all trunks, My Q is :

1. Extended VLAN's are not allowed handled by ISL trunk, what is the use of
allowing them over all trunks links ?
2. How will ISL trunk process any frame in Extended VLAN range, will it drop
the frame ? or will it b/c over the trunk ?
