We have a lag trunk setup between our EX4500 core switch and a EX4200 edge switch. As you can see below, on the EX4200 we have native-vlan-id set to Management which is also a member of the trunk. A similar setup is done on the EX4500 with a native-vlan-id also set to Management
Why is this set this way?
Do we even need this set?
I know that native-vlan-id means that all untagged traffic coming across this link should go to the Management vlan. Our Managment vlan is used for in-band management of this edge switch.
