H12-811_V1-0 practice question 12 of 35
Trunk interfaces can send both tagged and untagged frames.
Full set: 304 questionsThe statement is correct. An IEEE 802.1Q trunk interface is designed to carry traffic for multiple VLANs. It accomplishes this by adding a VLAN tag to frames for most VLANs. However, one VLAN is designated as the native VLAN (or the VLAN corresponding to the Port VLAN ID - PVID). Frames belonging to this native VLAN are transmitted across the trunk link without a VLAN tag (i.e., untagged). Therefore, a trunk interface is capable of sending both tagged frames (for non-native VLANs) and untagged frames (for the native VLAN).
B. False: This option is incorrect. The ability to handle one untagged VLAN is a standard and essential feature of 802.1Q trunking, used for backward compatibility and for certain types of control plane traffic.
1. Huawei S5700 Series Switches Product Documentation, VLAN Configuration Guide - Fundamentals of VLAN, Section "Port-Based VLAN". The documentation describes a trunk port: "A trunk port allows packets from multiple VLANs to pass through. Except for packets from the default VLAN, packets passing through a trunk port are tagged." This confirms it handles both.
2. IEEE Std 802.1Q-2018, IEEE Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks--Bridges and Bridged Networks. Section 6.7, "Port VLAN ID (PVID)," describes the identifier for the VLAN to which untagged frames received on a port are to be associated, which is fundamental to how trunk ports handle untagged traffic.
