You are configuring a network with two switches, SwitchA and SwitchB, connected via a trunk port. On SwitchA, you have created a new network segment numbered 10 and assigned several access ports to it. To ensure devices in this segment can communicate between SwitchA and SwitchB, what configuration should you perform on SwitchB?
Create VLAN 10 on SwitchB and assign the relevant access ports to it.
Set the native VLAN on the trunk link to 10.
Enable inter-switch routing on SwitchB.
Configure the trunk port on SwitchB to operate in access mode.
To enable communication for devices in the network segment numbered 10 across both switches, you need to create VLAN 10 on SwitchB and assign the appropriate access ports to it. Virtual LANs (VLANs) are local to each switch, so even though the trunk link allows traffic tagged with VLAN IDs to pass between switches, each switch must have the VLAN configured to handle and forward the traffic correctly. Without creating VLAN 10 on SwitchB, the switch would not recognize or process frames tagged for that VLAN.
