native vlan

[Balázs Mátéffy]

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.
