9.3 Port VLAN Trunking

Enable VLAN Trunking on a port to allow frames belonging to unknown VLAN
groups to pass through that port. This is useful if you want to set up VLAN groups
on end devices without having to configure the same VLAN groups on
intermediary devices.
Refer to the following figure. Suppose you want to create VLAN groups 1 and 2
(V1 and V2) on devices A and B. Without VLAN Trunking, you must configure
VLAN groups 1 and 2 on all intermediary switches C, D and E; otherwise they will
drop frames with unknown VLAN group tags. However, with VLAN Trunking
enabled on a port(s) in each intermediary switch you only need to create VLAN
groups in the end devices (A and B). C, D and E automatically allow frames with
