Tell us the model and software release and we'll [probably] find the
commands for you.

A trunk, generally speaking, is any link in which the VLAN tags are
transmitted as part of the data. A non-trunk, sometimes called an
"access port" is a link in which the VLAN tags are stripped before
transmission, and which does not expect VLAN tags to be received.
Trunks are -usually- used for links between data infrastructure
[such as routers and switches and firewalls], but these days more
and more servers and general operating systems are enabling trunking
functionality, so it is entirely possible to have a trunk which connects
to a computer instead of to a switch/router.
