Understanding Access and Trunk Interfaces

Ethernet interfaces can be configured either as access ports or a trunk ports, as follows:
• An access port can have only one VLAN configured on the interface; it can carry traffic for only one
• A trunk port can have two or more VLANs configured on the interface; it can carry traffic for several
Cisco NX-OS supports only IEEE 802.1Q-type VLAN trunk encapsulation.
