Yes, VLAN AWARE specifies trunking on the uplink. The difference is that you authorized everyone who was not explicitly authorized to a VLAN to use VLAN 229, and I required everyone to have an explicit GRANT. By the way, if you have an ESM and the ESM returns an empty list of VLANs, your syntax would give the guest access to VLAN 229. [This is fixed in 6.4.] I've been harping on the use of "VLAN AWARE NATIVE NONE" for all z/VM 6.2 and later systems since ... z/VM 6.2. And I expect (hope?) that there are going to be some changes in the future to disable the use of a VLAN ID on the DEFINE VSWITCH.
