Trunk Port A trunk port is a specific type of port on a network switch that allows data to flow across a network node for multiple virtual local area networks or VLANs. Think of the trunk port as a “bundle” of individual branches or capillaries in a telecom network connection. Advertisem...
What Is a Trunk Port?A trunk port is a type of connection on a switch that is used to connect a guest virtual machine that is VLAN aware. Generally, all frames that flow through this port are VLAN tagged. The exception to this is when a trunk port is granted access to the untagged ...
The switch port carries traffic more than once in the one VLAN is term as Trunk port. In terms of having a group of VLANs are sending the traffic here, one switch port will manage it. It will be much useful for the user who exchanges the traffic between two or more switches to have...
A VLAN trunk port is a networking port that is used to carry traffic for multiple VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) over a single physical connection. Trunk ports are often used to connect switches, routers, and other networking devices in a network, and are typically configured to allow ...

An access port transports traffic to and from only the specified VLAN allotted to it. Unlike a trunk port, it will not deliver exclusive identifying tags (either 802.1Q or ISL tags) because the VLAN intended for it is pre-assigned. Advertisements Usually, an access port will only have a ...

An access port handles untagged Ethernet frames since data can only transfer within the specified VLAN. Trunk Port: A trunk port can communicate with many VLANs and is typically connected to another switch. A trunk port controls the data transfer to and from many VLANs on a complicated ...
TCP/UDP header: source and destination port numbers MPLSheader: MPLS label and some bits in the MPLS payload L2TP packets: tunnel ID and session ID The more hashable these hash factors are, the more evenly traffic is balanced. If network traffic is very complex and hash factors are used for...
the VLAN.Trunklinks between switches know which VLANs span the switches, accepting and passing along all traffic for any VLAN in use on both sides of the trunk. When a frame reaches its destination switch port, the VLAN tag is removed before the frame is transmitted to the destination ...
