Abstract
A dynamic trunk protocol enables dynamic negotiation of trunk encapsulation types between ports connecting intermediate stations in a computer network. The stations are preferably interconnected by a point-to-point link. Negotiation between a local port and a neighbor port of the switches results in synchronization of the port configurations to a common trunk encapsulation type, such as an Interswitch Link (ISL), IEEE 802.1Q or non-trunk port configuration.
