This read-only INTEGER (1..255) specifies the virtual trunk of the interface card associated with the trunk at the remote node, where 1 through 254 denotes a virtual trunk and 255 denotes a physical trunk. An administrator uses this to determine, from the local node's perspective, whether the remote end of the trunk is a virtual trunk sharing a port with others or the underlying physical trunk itself. For example, a remote value of 3 combined with a local value of 255 would indicate the trunk connects a physical local port to one of several virtual trunks configured at the remote end.
