Question: VLAN 1

By default, VLAN 1 is the native VLAN and should only be used to carry
control traffic,

CDP, VTP, PAgP, and DTP.  This information is transmitted across trunk
links untagged.

•  User VLANs should not include the native VLAN, VLAN 1.  This information
will be sent

as tagged frames across VLAN trunks.

•  The Management VLAN should be a VL





Now, I am testing vlan 1 so that SW1 can't send vlan 1 to SW2 through trunk
by using "switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 1"



As I expected the below is the output after i did in SW1   ( SW1 ---- SW2
are connected through f0/15 each other)

Based on what i understood since SW1 can't send vtp, cdp, dtp, udld, pagp,
SW2 cann't negotiate dynamically.  (No cdp, no vtp information is
transfeered)



However, when I capture the packet, it is still transferred CDP/VTP/DTP
packets each other.

Interestingly, each SW uses multicast address 01 00 0c cc cc cc for this
packet.



I thought when I block vlan 1, it blocks multicast traffic, too. but,
swithes are sending each other all CDP/VTP/DTP information.



I rebooted both switches, but they are trunking still.

What am i missing here? I like to better understand what vlan 1 does.
