Does Tagged interface acts like trunk?

For example there is my internal vlan is 169 and only one interface is connected to one switch with internal vlan. Now Question is that I have 2.5 interface tagged to vlan 169 but have not configured...

Hi,

 

Always confusing talking about trunking on the f5s with cisco guys as they use the same terms for different things.

 

Now I'm now expert on the switching side but here's what i know. A trunk in cisco is a port carrying multiple VLANs. So Yes, tagging interfaces on the BIG-IP is, in effect, a cisco trunk as multiple VLANs will traverse this link.

 

An f5 trunk is actually an etherchannel or aggregated links.

 

Hope this makes sense.
