> traffic.  When it enters the Ethernet trunk port on the Riverstone, we
> are able to assign the untagged traffic to a VID and it traverses the
> trunk ports where allowed as tagged traffic.  It doesn't seem like the
> Cisco switches have this ability - only one native VLAN per switch.
> Is there some way to accept multiple ports of untagged traffic and tag

> fa0/1 - mgmt VID 10, customer traffic untagged (needs to be tagged
> with VID 100 for L3 routing)
> fa0/2 - mgmt VID 10, customer traffic untagged (needs to be tagged
> with VID 101 for L3 routing)
> etc.
> fa0/24 - trunk port to L3 device

> We are using 2960 and 3560 switches.  Any other ideas are welcome, but
> we would prefer to minimize any CPE equipment at customer site to tag
> their traffic with the appropriate customer VID.  It's a matter of
> additional cost, additional management devices, and additional points
> of failure.
