When I issue the command "encapsulation dot1Q 1" it drops to the next line without an error message, looking like it takes the command. But a 'sh run' displays that the line is still "encapsulation dot1Q 1 native". So I did a "no encapsulation dot1Q 1 native" and lost connection to the device (like I thought I might). I was able to access it again via another interface and then issue a "encapsulation dot1Q 1". However, a 'sh run' reveals that the line actually says "encapsulation dot1Q 1 native" again. It seems like it won't allow me to drop the 'native'. Also, I know that it isn't best practice to use VLAN1. All of our other sites have it disabled, but for whatever reason, this location is using it. I would like to find the quickest way to disable it and move the rest of the LAN to another VLAN, but that hasn't been my top priority. However, if achieving that goal would assist me in fixing this issue, then maybe I should move it up on my priority list.
