You can configure the default vlan to something else using "switchport trunk native vlan" command: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SX/configuration/guide/layer2.html#wp1034721 You might also consider whether the command "vlan dot1q tag native" is appropriate in the circumstances ? It can be enabled globally and disabled on a per interface basis if required. "The vlan dot1q tag native command is a global command that configures the switch to tag native VLAN traffic, and admit only 802.1Q tagged frames on 802.1Q trunks, dropping any untagged traffic, including untagged traffic in the native VLAN." http://www.ciscosystems.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SXF/native/configuration/guide/dot1qtnl.html#wp1006255 >From the description it appears that it will drop any untagged VLAN ingress >traffic.

Again, this is all theoretical from my PoV. If the above doesn't help, perhaps it will at least point you in the right direction. regards, Tony. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
