Explanation

A trunk port is configured to carry traffic for multiple VLANs across a single physical link. When connecting a switch to a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC), a trunk port is typically used to: - Allow the WLC to handle multiple SSIDs, each mapped to a different VLAN. - Ensure that client traffic for various VLANs can traverse the same physical interface between the switch and the WLC.
