You will most likely be able to do this to any cisco switch that supports 
DTP. What you're doing is using a misconfiguration, not really a 
vulnerability. You're not vlan hopping, you're telling the switch that you 
are a switch and that the interlink should be in trunk mode, and then the 
other end will give you access to all vlans, if it's configured default 
from factory.
