BlankReg | May 29 2009 12:32PM GMT Labnuke99 the question was can a VLAN be on more than one trunk, not can a trunk carry more than one VLAN ! Danial, the answer is YES. Generally a VLAN can be trunked (tagged) on as many ports as needed (a few have a limit, but almost always more than one). As there may be more than one adjacent switch that needs connectivity to a particular VLAN, this has to be possible. ____________________________________________________________________________ A trunk port typically carries more than one VLAN.
