A technician is trying to add another switch to the network with multiple VLANs. Which of the following should the technician configure on the interface to allow multiple VLANs?

The correct answer is B. Trunking. A trunk port is a switch interface configured to carry traffic for multiple VLANs simultaneously between switches. By default, switch ports are access ports assigned to only one VLAN. When connecting two switches that need to share multiple VLANs, the inter-switch link must be…

Explanation

A trunk port is a switch interface configured to carry traffic for multiple VLANs simultaneously between switches. By default, switch ports are access ports assigned to only one VLAN. When connecting two switches that need to share multiple VLANs, the inter-switch link must be configured as a trunk. Trunk ports use tagging protocols (like IEEE 802.1Q) to tag each frame with its VLAN ID so the receiving switch knows which VLAN the traffic belongs to. Mirroring copies traffic to a monitoring port for analysis. Bonding (link aggregation) combines multiple links for redundancy and bandwidth. Authenticating (like 802.1X) controls port access based on credentials-none of these allow multiple VLANs to traverse a single link.
