Re: Native vlan from router to switch

We are talking about CCIE lab, so best practice and "working" status all go out the window :). In his scenario he's talking about router to switch trunk, so no VTP or STP (if you do this switch to switch you'll definitely have issues though, so very good to know)...CDP will definitely bark non-stop though which is very irritating.

Do some research on how dot1q trunks work and you should be able to figure it out. On Dec 7, 2011, at 11:40 PM, CCIE KID <eliteccie_at_gmail.com> wrote:
