Is vlan 1 always native (untagged) or can you specify that? I remember having some problem with Intel NICs on windows not liking native packets at all if any were tagged but I don't know if that was a hardware or software issue.



its my understanding that if you're using vlan tagging on a given link, ALL packets are supposed to be tagged, as the tag is a prefix on the ethernet header. mixing tagged and untagged packets would be very messy.

No, 802.1q has a concept of 'native' packets being assigned to a specified single vlan. This has to be understood by each interface that can be configured as a trunk. I just couldn't get the Intel windows proset driver to do it - but that was several years ago.
