CDP-4-NVLANMISMATCH: Native vlan mismatch detected on port [dec]/[dec]
Explanation This message indicates that the native VLAN is different from
the one set on at least one of the neighboring ports; [dec]/[dec] is the
module number/port number of the offending port.
You should be able to accomplish this with the interface tracking option in

Correct. However, make sure that your bandwidth and delay perameters are
equal for the paths over which you want to load share or else it will not
load share by DEFAULT. However, with EIGRP, you can force it to
unequal-cost load share with the variance command.
