[nsp] VLAN settings on 2950s/2610s

I remember knowing about VLAN tagging on Ethernet ports, but not too sure which
IOS will support it.

And also is there any restrictions of this feature to any hardware platform, or
is it enabled for all IOS platform?

Would appreciate if any Cisco guy could enlighten us on this.

Thanks.
