Use this feature to configure a tunnel across one or more intermediate
switches which pass traffic for VLAN groups to which they do not
belong.
The following figure shows VLANs 1 and 2 configured on switches A and
B, with VLAN trunking being used to pass traffic for these VLAN groups
across switches C, D and E.
Figure 127: Configuring VLAN Trunking
Without VLAN trunking, you would have to configure VLANs 1 and 2 on
all intermediate switches – C, D and E; otherwise these switches would
drop any frames with unknown VLAN group tags. However, by enabling
VLAN trunking on the intermediate switch ports along the path
connecting VLANs 1 and 2, you only need to create these VLAN groups
in switches A and B. Switches C, D and E automatically allow frames
with VLAN group tags 1 and 2 (groups that are unknown to those
switches) to pass through their VLAN trunking ports.
