Trunking on Cisco switches allows multiple VLANs to be carried over a single physical link, optimizing network efficiency and reducing infrastructure complexity.
What is Trunking?
Trunking is a networking technique used to carry traffic for multiple VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) over a single physical link between switches. This is essential in larger networks where multiple VLANs need to communicate across different switches without requiring separate physical connections for each VLAN.
