Trunk mode - Allowed vlan should include native as well?

Dear All,

 

When setting vlans on a switch port in trunk mode

do i need as well to include the native vlan on the allowed vlans?

 

Cheers!

Yes, that is also needed.

while you don’t have to explicitly include the native VLAN in the allowed VLAN list, it’s beneficial to follow best practices by tagging the native VLAN and excluding it from the explicit allowed VLANs.

Is this from chatgpt?

I used chatgpt for the same question before posting here and had a similar reply as posted by pulkit. 
However, after experimenting noticed that if i do not add the native vlan in allowed tagged then it will not forward traffic. that is why i have posted here my question.

I think it gets general info from internet and mix it with cisco catalyst info.

I would also not recommend removing native vlan with meraki switches as stp runs on the native vlan

Hi together,
I had the same question right now and my traffic can reach the native vlan on the other side when not including it in the allowed vlan list.
Did this change?

Which version and which platform?

I forgot to update my comment. It did not work for my native vlan. Had to add it too. It was a mistake from my side.
