Switchport - ISL

Inter-Switch Link or ISL is a Cisco proprietary protocol that maintains VLAN information on Ethernet frames that traverse a trunk link between switches

ISL is a type of trunk encapsulation that adds a VLAN ID to the Ethernet header. It is no longer available in newer switches and has been largely superseded by the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
