Hi, I would add, that if you have hosts, a hub or an unmanaged switch without vlan capability between two switches with vlans those devices will use the native vlan. And another thing: you have to make the native vlan the same on the switches or you will get native vlan error messages. In cisco the native vlan's number is 1 by the way not 0, as far as I know.
Hope this helps! Regards, Repcsi. 2009/8/24 Michael K. Smith - Adhost <[email protected]> > Well, in Cisco speak, the native vlan is untagged and used for > management.
