[CLUE-Tech] What is 802.1q from cisco?

[Jeremy Huber]

802.1q is the standard for VLAN trunking... Cisco has it's own version
called ISL that does a similar thing, but 802.1q is the standard that most
all switches/routers will support.. it basically handles making separate
switches look like a single switch (one big broadcast domain) - It doesn't
have anything to do with IP, per se.
