You need to give more explanation for me to be sure
however:-

If the 851 is connected to a port on the 3750 configured
as an access port then you are all OK. This access port
can be a member of any VLAN you choose on the 3750.
In this case the traffic between the 851 and the 3750 is
untagged.


If the 851 is connected to a port on the 3750 configured
as a trunk then you can't. (I suppose you might
argue that you could use the dot1q native VLAN but
that would just be stupidly obtuse in any practical sense).
In this case the traffic between the 851 and the 3750 is
tagged and the 851 won't be able to deal with it.


I have now checked with the feature navigator
www.cisco.com/go/fn and it appears confirmed that no
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN features are supported on the 851.
This means that my statements above are correct.


Sadly I can't give you a nice link since the web site
seems to be all scripted or something. How annoying!

www.cisco.co/go/fn
choose
Search by platform
Select 851 from the Platform drop down
Press continue
Scroll down and observe that there are no
IEEE 802.1Q ........
entries

Press Back Button on browser
Select 871 from the Platform drop down
Select Feature Set/Licenses - Advanced IP Services
Scroll down and observe that there ARE
IEEE 802.1Q ........
entries

These seem particularly handy.
IEEE 802.1Q Tunneling
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Support
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Trunking

I find Web Developer Toolbar useful for this; Forms > Convert POSTs to
GETs will give you a URL you can link to, email to someone etc. Useful
for other sites too.

Thanks a lot.

Very handy. Took a bit of mindless hacking to figure out
how to drive it since I have no idea what any of it means
but all working now:-)

851 - any software so none selected
http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/Dispatch?OsType=0&H_RBut=PF&HPF_DDM=305&HIM_Text=&HPN_Text=&Q1Submit=Continue&act=rlsSelect&softwareType=IOS&task=display&searchby=

871 Advanced IP Services

For the un-initiated - like me.

Install "Web Developer :: Add-ons for Firefox"
You already have firefox and Adblock Plus obviously
so you know how to install add-ons:-)

Navigate towards the web page that is unhelpfully not giving
you a valid link.
e.g.
http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/Dispatch?act=rlsSelect&task=search&searchby=platform

Once you actually choose platform all you get is:-
http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/Dispatch

BEFORE you choose the platform

On the toolbar select
Forms/Convert Form Methods/POSTs to GETs

Then "execute" the form by choosing the platform,
maybe you have to press "Continue" I forget.

The address bar displays a valid URL that can be used
to return to the page.

You have to repeat the
Forms/Convert Form Methods/POSTs to GETs
each time you execute the form since on each realod
I guess (wildly) it reloads the offending post method.
