Mike, yes the IEEE802.1Q does insert the VLAN tag into the frame (ISL encapsulates the frame.) I am going to try and get this part right. The max frame size for an ethernet frame is 1518, however if you are going to insert the 801.1Q Vlan tag you would require an additional 4 bytes. 2

Great answer. One minor thing. ISL came first. It was designed by Kalpana years ago. Cisco bought Kalpana in the mid-1990s. Priscilla At 10:53 AM 2/14/02, Oleg Oz wrote: Mike, yes the IEEE802.1Q does insert the VLAN tag into the frame (ISL encapsulates the frame.) I am going to try and get

Hi Colin, I have configured a port on a 2900 for 10Mbit and half duplex, and it lets me issue the command 'switchport trunk encapsulation isl' without any problems. On CatOS switches, you can issue the command 'show port capabilities', which will tell you the capabilities of each port. Regards,

I had read (and understood) that you needed FastEthernet for ISL trunking. I'm not for sure about Dot1Q though. It appears from the post from MADMAN, that you can indeed perform Dot1Q on Ethernet ports. But I still think FastEthernet I read a post in this thread that on a 2900 switch someone

I also belive that it is possible to run isl/802.1Q over ethernet. I seem to remember reading that the limiting factor was the age of the ethernet hardware. The originally ethernet chips used in cisco network modules only supported a fixed frame size. When ISL/802.1Q came along, the hardware
