Hi All, another Cisco question, hopefully a quick one!

My 3560 switches have 3 operational VLANs on them - Data (2), voice(200) and public(99). I want to connect these to my new Meraki access points using a dot1q trunk, which they support.

However, they also need to communicate to the controller (which is on the internet) in order to function - controller communication is untagged, there is no option to set a vlan for controller communication.

My understanding was that setting a native vlan on the trunk port would allow untagged traffic to access that vlan, so I configured the port as follows:

interface GigabitEthernet0/2
description !!WAP3!!
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 2
switchport mode trunk

Doesnt work though....

Any ideas what I'm missing?

Cheers :)
 
Apparently it did work, I just didnt give it long enough :)

Will look at only allowing certain VLANs anyway, seems sensible!
