What is the appropriate configuration for a switch port that connects to another switch and needs to carry traffic for multiple VLANs?
Configure the port as an access port
Set the port as a routed port
Enable trunking on the port
Enable PortFast on the port
To carry traffic for multiple VLANs between switches, the port should be configured as a trunk port. Trunk ports allow tagged frames from multiple VLANs to pass through, facilitating interswitch VLAN communication. Configuring the port as an access port would only allow traffic for a single VLAN. Enabling PortFast is used to speed up Spanning Tree Protocol convergence on ports connected to end devices, not other switches. Setting the port as a routed port changes it to operate at Layer 3, which is used for routing between networks, not for forwarding VLAN traffic between switches.
