keywords, see the command reference for this release.
Separate non-consecutive VLAN IDs with a comma and no spaces;
use a hyphen to designate a range of IDs. Valid IDs are 2 to 1001.
Extended-range VLANs (VLAN IDs 1006 to 4094) cannot be
pruned.
VLANs that are pruning-ineligible receive flooded traffic.
The default list of VLANs allowed to be pruned contains VLANs
2 to 1001.

Configuring the Native VLAN for Untagged Traffic
A trunk port configured with IEEE 802.1Q tagging can receive both tagged and untagged traffic. By default,
the switch forwards untagged traffic in the native VLAN configured for the port. The native VLAN is VLAN
1 by default.
The native VLAN can be assigned any VLAN ID.
