Uplink: An uplink port is typically used to connect one switch to another or to connect a switch to a higher-level network device like a router or core switch. It’s the link that “goes up” towards the higher levels of the network hierarchy.<\/p>\n
Trunk Port: A trunk port is used to carry traffic for multiple VLANs over a single physical link. Trunk ports are typically used when connecting switches to allow traffic from multiple VLANs to traverse the link. This is common in scenarios where VLANs are used to logically segment a network.<\/p>\n
PVID (Port VLAN ID): The PVID is the default VLAN assigned to an untagged frame when it enters a switch port. On most switches, each port is configured with a PVID, and untagged frames arriving on that port are treated as belonging to that VLAN.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2023-12-27T16:08:08.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/sophos-switch-configuration/964434/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"spiceuser-f74cq","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/spiceuser-f74cq"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
