Re: Using vtp with third party switches in-the-middle

I really do not have any idea for you to make this work, but i would guess
that if you allow the vlans to be "tagged" on the Nortel it should work like
a transparent switch...maybe? would like to hear if and how you get it to
work...

also makes me yearn for my old job at Lucent when i was working in the
interoperability testing lab, until i got laid off cause we lost our big
customer, UUNET, good ole WorldCom...

anyway i digress....
