Hello,

 

I was reading a network design which was done by Cisco people. In the
switching section, it said "802.1q is an old protocol and we will not use
it". It didn't mentioned anything about the replace protocol. I'm wondering
how is possible to send traffic of multiple VLANs over a single uplink
without 802.1q tag. (maybe are suggesting ISL in this way, but I think ISL
is older than 802.1q).

 

Is there any new trunking protocol?
