Notes VLAN trunk checklist

VLAN trunk checklist

Short checks for validating a trunk link during networking labs.

Checks

  • Confirm both ends agree on trunk mode.
  • Confirm allowed VLANs include only the expected IDs.
  • Confirm native VLAN behavior is documented.
  • Test one host per access VLAN before debugging routing.

Useful evidence

Save the switch port summary, VLAN table, and one successful ping path for the lab notes.
