Ethernet Access Port
Services are configured on access ports used for customer-facing traffic. If a Service Access Port
(SAP) is to be configured on a port, it must be configured as access mode. When a port is
configured for access mode, the appropriate encapsulation type can be specified to distinguish the
services on the port. Once a port has been configured for access mode, multiple services may be
configured on the port.
The following example displays an Ethernet access port configuration :
*A:7210-SAS>config>port# info
