RE: Trunking question 'switchport trunk allowed vlan'

I used ethereal to decode the layer 2 traffic in a trunk.

1)for a trunk with default vlan 1 as native
DTP/PAGP/VTP/CDP has no vlan tag with LSAP 0XAAAA, CST (IEEE STP) has no vlan
tag with LSAP 0x4242, pvst+ vlan 1 has vlan 1 tag with lsap 0xaaaa, etc.

2)for a trunk with vlan 100 as native
DTP/PAGP/VTP/CDP has no vlan tag with LSAP 0XAAAA, CST (IEEE STP) has no vlan
tag with LSAP 0x4242, pvst+ vlan 100 has vlan 100 tag with lsap 0xaaaa, etc.

So basically, to my understanding, not allowing native vlan is just to stop
native vlan's pvst+ and traffic. It doesn't affect CST, DTP, PAGP, VTP, CDP.
