asterisk users - Nov 2011 - OT: Does IEEE 801.2q include VLAN trunking?

Hello List,

I'm a little bit confused as I read about IEEE 801.2.q
So, my actual question is: Does a switch stating to support IEEE 801.2q
also supports VLAN trunking?

As I understand the standard, I suppose it does, but I'm not sure.

Can someone clarify this for me, please?
Thank you vermy much.


Best regards,
Ruben

I don't know if you miss-typed or not.  But, 802.1q is VLAN.  If it was 
typed incorrectly, then yes.  I just recently setup a Linux DHCP to 
handle multiple networks with VLAN 802.1q trunking.

Yes. That's exactly what 802.1q is. Technically 802.1q allows the network
devices to tag each Ethernet frame with a VLAN ID. This way if you have 3 vlans,
they can all be "trunked" over 1 Ethernet port by means of tagging the
VLAN ID.
