Trunk port
IEEE 802.1Q
Significantly less overhead than the ISL
802.1Q inserts only an additional 4 bytes into
the Ethernet frame.
The 802.1Q tag is inserted by the switch
before sending across the trunk.
The switch removes the 802.1Q tag before
sending it out a non trunk link.

VLAN Tagging
Non-Trunk Links
Trunk Link
It is important to understand that
a trunk link does not belong to a
specific VLAN.
Non-Trunk Links
The responsibility of a trunk link is
to act as a conduit for VLANs
between switches and routers (or
switches and switches).
Configuring Trunking
A transparent switch will not modify its database when updates are
received, nor will the switch send out an update indicating a change in its
own VLAN status.
VTP servers can create, modify, delete VLAN and VLAN configuration
parameters for the entire domain.
