Is this possible? As far as I know you can not remove vlan 1 from a trunk
at least on a cisco switch. Even if it doesn't appear on the allowed
vlans, if you put a sniffer you will see traffic from vlan 1 and on show
spanning-tree you will see it running an STP instance for vlan 1.

I believe this was fixed in recent versions of the switch software (as we just disabled VLAN1 after waiting for an OS upgrade), but I'm not a Cisco switch jockey...
