About switchport trunk encapsulation..

[shsong21]

here is the output my a cat switch.

South_Korea(config-if)#switchport trunk encapsulation ?

dot1q Interface uses only 802.1q trunking encapsulation when trunking

isl Interface uses only ISL trunking encapsulation when trunking

I wonder why call "dot1q" for IEEE 802.1q

Do u know ?

Thanks.....

Hi shsong,

dot1q with "dot" simply referring to the 802"."1q, in which "." in english is called "dot"
