Description
A trunk port connects two switches. A trunk port may belong
to multiple VLANs. A trunk port accepts only packets tagged
with the VLAN IDs of the VLANs to which the trunk is a
member or untagged packets if configured with a PVID. A
trunk only transmits tagged packets.
Full 802.1q support VLAN interface. A general mode port is a
combination of both trunk and access ports capabilities. It is
possible to fully configure all VLAN features on a general mode
port. Both tagged and untagged packets may be accepted and
transmitted.
