A VLAN trunk is a network link that can carry multiple VLAN traffic by tagging each frame with a VLAN identifier, typically used to interconnect switches to allow the transportation of multiple VLANs between them.
VLAN Trunk Definition: A VLAN trunk is a network link that can carry multiple VLAN traffic by tagging each frame with a VLAN identifier, typically used to interconnect switches to allow the transportation of multiple VLANs between them.
A VLAN trunk is a network link that carries multiple virtual local area networks (VLANs) over a single physical connection. It is utilized to enable communication between different VLANs within a network infrastructure, allowing for the segregation and efficient management of network traffic. VLAN trunks use tagging to distinguish between different VLANs and ensure that the correct traffic is routed to the appropriate VLAN on both ends of the connection.
