  Thank you for that. I’d also like to ask you: is that a possibility too if one were to configure a trunk port on a switch and plug the PCs in?

    That would be worse, because then it would send and receive traffic for multiple vlans.

    Unless your switch uses that to refer to link aggregation instead of vlan trunking. Network terminology like that can mean different things to different vendors.

      I’m using Cisco terminology so it likely means VLAN trunking unfortunately (unless I missed something)
