QID:AN1056 - JamesJones - 09-20-2025
[font='Segoe Sans', 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web (West European)', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif]What is the term used to describe a method of connecting multiple switches in a network to allow traffic to flow between them, typically used for larger networks to increase bandwidth?[/font]
Answer says "trunk" I believe that is WRONG, and the answer should be LAG
Here is why:
• LAG and EtherChannel are closely related; both refer to bundling multiple physical links between switches to increase bandwidth and provide redundancy.
• EtherChannel is Cisco’s proprietary implementation of LAG.
• Trunk is used to carry multiple VLANs between switches, but doesn’t inherently increase bandwidth.
• Access refers to ports that connect end devices and carry traffic for a single VLAN—unrelated to inter-switch bandwidth.
Thanks
