Study Notes

VLAN Configurations

A trunk link is a point-to-point link between two network devices that carries multiple VLANs.

Network Environment

The primary role of a trunk link in a network environment is to connect multiple VLANs between two devices, such as switches or a switch and a router.

OSI Model

Switches are primarily associated with Layer 2 of the OSI model, and they only use MAC address information from network traffic.

Ethernet Frame Headers

VLAN membership information is included in Ethernet frame headers, specifically in the 802.1q header.

Trunk Link Frames

For each frame transferred over a trunk link, two pieces of information must be identified: the VLAN membership and the MAC address of the destination device.

VLAN Membership Identification

The process used to identify VLAN membership for frames transferred over a trunk link is tagging.

VLAN Trunk Definition

A trunk is defined as a single physical link that carries multiple VLANs between two devices.
