Configuring Access and Trunk Interfaces

You can optimize the performance of access ports that are connected to end stations by simultaneously
setting that port as an access port. An access host port handles the STP like an edge port and immediately
moves to the forwarding state without passing through the blocking and learning states. Configuring an
interface as an access host port also disables port channeling on that interface.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ensure that you are configuring the correct interface to an interface that is an end station.

Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Specifies an interface to configure, and enters interface
configuration mode.
Sets the interface to be an access host port, which
immediately moves to the spanning tree forwarding
state and disables port channeling on this interface.
Apply this command only to end stations.
Note
Exits the interface mode.
