[c-nsp] Question - VLAN tagging Catalyst 6500 to Linux Host

[Christopher.Marget at usc-bt.com]

It sounds like you intend for the 10.1.1.0/24 subnet to be UNtagged?

With a tagging (trunk) interface, ^this^line^ is a no-op.

You probably want to add:

switchport mode trunk     <- run in tagging mode
switchport nonegotiate    <- don't attempt DTP negotiation with the Linux box
switchport trunk native vlan 309  <- don't tag vlan 309
