That's how you can share the port with multiple LPARs/Guests. Whether you *should* share and how, exactly, you configure the hosts that are sharing is where a full understanding of the physical switch port configuration is needed. Trying to share a trunk port among both VLAN-aware and non-VLAN-aware hosts is a recipe for disaster and a potential security hole.
