Hi, 
 
Thanks for the answers. 
 
I believe trunks are used for transferring vlans from one switch to another. 
 
Now u say it is for redundancy and bandwidth increasing. 
&nbsp; 
confusing.can you elobarate? 
 
Can any one advice me on the role of these TRUNKING PORTS IN SPANNING TREE PROTCOL? AND STP CONVERGENCE ? 
 
Thanks,

Hi, 
 
I need some explanation on trunking. 
 
My setup has 6509 connected to 2 X cat 4006 switches. 
p01 ,p02 are enabled for trunking.And module 4/25,4/29,4/31 are enable for 802.1q trunks. 
 
Similiarly some ports modules 6,7,9 are all enabled for trunking 
 
From show trunk interface Iam able to see the vlans it is carrying. 
 
why we have two &nbsp;or 3 trunks on same module? 
where does this trunk get terminated?I believe on switch 4006 ?Is my understanding right? 
Please reply ASAP. 
 
Thanks,

Trunking

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
