Re: What's the difference between "Defining the Allowed VLANs

Allowed VLANs defines what VLANs are permitted to be used on a particular
trunk link (think security). Pruning is only used when a particular trunk
link is permitted a VLAN, but the downstream switch(es) currently has no
active ports in that VLAN, and therefore does not need that data (think
efficiency). Only when a downstream port becomes active on that VLAN does
the trunk link need to carry data for that VLAN. Prune-eligible are those
VLANs that can be suppressed on the trunk link if no downstream ports are
active.
