VLAN trunking
VLAN trunking
VLAN trunking allows traffic from one VLAN to be transported across a different VLAN. Packets with
unknown VLAN IDs entering the switch at the ingress port are allowed to pass through to any
configured VLAN trunking port. When unknown VLAN traffic must pass through one or more
intermediate switches to reach its destination, you can configure VLAN flooding on ports that form
a path across the intermediate switches to connect the source of this traffic to its destination.
This feature is useful for service providers who must carry traffic from different customers across
their network while preserving the VLAN ID and priority information of the customer network.
