Auto-Trunk overview
Auto-trunk is a feature that lets the switch automatically enable Trunk mode on capable
physical links and LAG interfaces between partner devices. A trunk can carry all active
VLANs. By default, the Auto-Trunk feature is enabled on the switch.
If the switch automatically configures a port as a trunk (that is, an Auto-Trunk), all VLANs
on the switch become part of the trunk, allowing automatic configuration of all VLANs
on the switch and on the partner device with which the trunk is established.
