cdp on trunk link, tagged or untagged?

k.oyama

[Cat3550]----802.1q trunk----[Cat2950]

The native vlan on the trunk is vlan 2, and vlan 1 is removed from trunk on both devices.

In this case, Catalyst3550 sends CDP frame with untagged, but Catalyst2950 sends CDP frame with vlan1 tagged over the trunk.

(not only the CDP frame, but also the DTP or ethernetLOOPBACK frames are in the same way on both switches)

So, Catalyst2950 can see CDP information of Catalyst3550 but Catalyst3550 can not see that of Catalyst2950.

Two switches can ping each other. Management vlan is vlan2.

Are there anything wrong with the configurations bellow?

If vlan 1 is allowed on the trunk, Catalyst3550 become to understand Catalyst2950's CDP information.

Also, Catalyst3550 begin to send the frames with vlan 1 tagged, for example PVST BPDU for VLAN 1 etc,.

Hi,

generally

"CDP, VTP, and PAgP updates are always forwarded on trunks with a VLAN 1 tag. This is the case even if VLAN 1 has been cleared from the trunks and is not the native VLAN. Clearing VLAN 1 for user data has no impact on control plane traffic that is still sent using VLAN 1."

See http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/hw/switches/ps663/products_tech_note09186a0080094713.shtml#cat_control

But there is a bug in Cat3550

"If VLAN 1 or VLANs 1002 to 1005 are removed from a trunk port, the switch no longer receives CDP or VTP frames. VLAN 1 minimization is not supported on the Catalyst 3550 switch. You cannot remove VLAN 1 or VLANs 1002 to 1005 from the allowed VLAN list. (CSCdz22629)"

See Release Notes for the Catalyst 3550 Multilayer Switch Cisco IOS Release 12.1(12c)EA1.

Milan
