Hi,

This is my setup:
Site a:
interface GigabitEthernet5/2
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 2500
switchport trunk allowed vlan 444,333
switchport mode trunk

site b:
interface Gi0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 123
switchport trunk allowed vlan 444,333
switchport mode trunk
interface Fa0/1
switchport access vlan 123
switchport mode access

what im trying to do, is have a edge port in vlan 123, go out a trunk
port (set as native vlan so it should strip its tag) come in on the
other port untagged (in native vlan 2500) so it should be tagged as
2500. hence it should be a fairly straight forward one to one vlan
translation.

site b switch doesnt support system extended vlan ID's and that
particular vlan is a must. anyways, on switch A I have 5 mac addresses
in that vlan, on switch B, doing show mac-address-table int g0/1 I
can't see any mac's from anything other than 444,333 so it doesnt
appear to be working.

any ideas?

Flamer.

I think one of the issues is that im running PV-RSTP. so if I dont
"trunk allow" that vlan on the port that vlan is forwarded on that
port. and if I do add it on the port at the same time as its a native
vlan im not sure it will still add/strip the dot1q tag.

..... straight forward one to one vlan translation....

On the 6500s there is a "switchport vlan mapping" command which does
just that, and might be usable for your situation.

Unfortunately support is dependent on the module port asic and it
seems it is not usable on most of the newer hardware. If your
hardware does support it : it works per port asic, meaning the
mapping will be applied to ALL ports on that asic. Just how many ports
that would be is again hardware dependent, but there is an "enable"
command per port. I've used this once and it worked just fine, and
yes, I've also used external links between two ports.

Luck, Frans
