Native VLAN not present

[tedauction]

Hello, I understand modern Cisco switches do not require a native VLAN on trunks.

I want to trunk VLANs 100 & 200.

Therefore, is it still OK if I have no native VLAN, AND restrict trunk allowed VLANs to only 100 & 200 i.e. no explicit allow statement for VLAN1 ?

I am unsure if this will prevent management traffic from passing across the VLAN i.e. BPDUs, DTP, VTP and CDP.

Hi
You're correct. Not setting the default vlan means having Vlan 1 as default native vlan.
It won't prevent getting all network protocols passing through like bpdu, vtp....
