Experts,
do you agree that the following piece of documentation is not correct?
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.1E/native/co
nfiguration/guide/spantree.html

"When you connect a Cisco network device to a non-Cisco device through
an 802.1Q trunk, the Cisco network device combines the STP instance of
the 802.1Q VLAN of the trunk with the STP instance of the non-Cisco
802.1Q network device. However, all per-VLAN STP information is
maintained by Cisco network devices separated by a cloud of non-Cisco
802.1Q network devices."

It should sounds like this to me:
When you connect a Cisco network device to a non-Cisco device through an
802.1Q trunk, the Cisco network device combines the STP instance of the
802.1Q **default** VLAN of the trunk with the STP instance of the
non-Cisco 802.1Q network device....

One work missing but a big difference :-)
