Hi Paul, > Does ethernet interface support trunking?

Cisco states that you need to have a FastEthernet (100 Mb/s) or above to support trunking. Hence, trunking on Ethernet (10 Mb/s) interface is not supported. However, if you have only e.g. 2 VLANs and wish to route traffic between them, you can use a router with 2*10 Mbps interface and it will still work. But if you have 10 VLANs then it would be better to get a router with 100 Mbps support and perform trunking with the switch.
