VLAN Trunking

Nvermind

hey all,

What is the point of a trunk connection between 2 switches? Besides the security and reduced traffic?

What I'm asking I suppose is why would I want two PC's on separate VLAN's not to be able to ping one another?

Seems more sensible to stick a router or multilayer-switch in there rather than trunking 2 switches?

apologies if this seems really dense.. coming back after a month long break to do the ICND2..

Thanks for reading

What about if you wanted the same subnet (VLAN) to span multiple switches? If you use a routed L3 solution you would not be able to do that.
