Answer» The two ports of switches include:
Access Port: It connects network hosts to a single VLAN and only CARRIES the traffic of one VLAN. In this, traffic is sent and received in native format WITHOUT any VLAN tagging. Access ports are basically used to connect switch ports with computers with a minimum of 10 Mbps speed.
Trunk Port: It generally connects to another switch and is able to INTERACT with several other VLANs. By DEFAULT, it is a MEMBER of all VLANs in the VLAN database. The trunk port is basically used for multiple connections between the switch to switch and switch to routers.
