C1300 Catalyst not! How to set encapsulation for trunk

[fabios]

Dear All,

I bought 2 Cisco C1300-8MGP-2x for my home network since I have plurigigabit optical connectivity to the Internet.

I was kind of expecting to find the usual Catalyst os and command. Cisco made a very bad (in my view) choice to keep teh catalyst name in a non catalyst switch (rant off). So now in the deployment phase I discover there is no VTP support (fine is transparent the Catalyst3560 will communicate and I will configure manually).

But now I cannot find how to tell the switch to encapsulate the trunk link in DOT1Q. Docs Say nothing. The forum shows nothing.

Does anyone knows if there is a way? Or dot1q is the only encapsulated available and so there is no need to configure it?

Thanks

Fabio

Ethertype Tagging

Select an Ethertype tagging method for the S-VLAN tag. Dot1q-8100 Dot1ad-88a8 9100 (old non-standard QinQ ethertype) 9200 (non-standard QinQ ethertype)

Dot1q is the default.
