Re: Native vlan from router to switch

May be depending on the equipment, the trunk will "form" just fine,
if VLAN hopping is not considered to be a problem :)
CDP may barf. If VLAN 1 is involved, other griefs will pop.

Different problems:
-framing: no problem, but "native VLAN" frames do not signal which VLAN
they belong to, so if they do not match, frames will hop from one VLAN
to the other.

-signalling (DTP): AFAIK, VLANs are not part of the info interchanged,
so the trunk will form even if native is not the same.

-control: (CDP/VTP/STP/...): well, you may have a problem here.
In particular, CDP/VTP go on VLAN 1, so if this is one of the VLANs
involved in the crossing, it won't work.

-Others ?
