Let's say I have a incoming connection which is fixed 1Gb/s with tagged packets. And lets say that I need to connect that connection to a device which is a 10/100 device, which deals with the tagged packets.
Can I use a dumb (ie: non-VLAN-aware) 1Gb switch to connect that 1Gb connection and the 10/100 Mb device?

As long as the tagged packets do not exceed the supported MTU of the unmanaged switch, the tags should be propagated just fine.
