fyi peeps, trunk ports are used to transfer vlan data from one switch to another switch or trunk capable devices such as wireless APs.
therefore, if Switch A port 1 is set to trunk for Vlan 3.. and port 20 is set to Untagged or otherwise known to set to VLAN 3, then if port 1 of switch A is connected to port 1 of Switch B that is set with the same config of Vlan 3 (tagged or trunk), then VLAN 3 data will be transfered from Switch A to Switch B.
so a PC connected to port 20 in SwitchA, can deliver data to another PC connected to port..24 in SwitchB if the port 24 in switch B is configured as Untagged VLAN3.
