Re: Dot1Q Tunnel - vlan dot1q tag native

You means when sw1 will receive traffic on native vlan, it will not tag
these packets and forward to sw2 without tag. sw2 will find vlan number that
is tagged by client and if that vlan is also in provider's internal network
then traffic will mixed otherwise drop.
"vlan dot1q tag native" can be used only when we want to use native vlan as
carrier vlan.

In lab exam, should we configure it as best practice or only if native vlan
is used as carrier?
