So basically it's a "trunk link" that you set as a "network port"? Or is it
just any port that are basically not use a
whole lot and you do not mind having the broadcast whenever a MAC needs to
be learned so that way your CAM
table stays within the 1024 address range for the 1900's? Doesn't the CAM
work on a FIFO base?
I am still not too clear on this.
Also, what is the command on the switch to tell it that it's a network port?
