ABSTRACT:
Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to enhancing the interoperability of network devices with static native virtual LAN (VLAN) configurations with other network devices where the native VLAN is a configurable parameter. In some implementations, the network devices having configurable native VLANs conditionally add VLAN tags to common Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) transmitted to network devices where the native VLAN is static and strip any VLAN tags from the common STP BPDUs that are received.
