Usage Guidelines
Note Although visible in the CLI, the dot1q-tunnel keyword is not supported.
A configuration that uses the access,or trunk keywords takes effect only when you configure the port in the
appropriate mode by using the switchport mode command. The static-access and trunk configuration are
saved, but only one configuration is active at a time.
OL-32639-01
Sets the port to access mode (either static-access or dynamic-access depending on the
setting of the switchport access vlan interface configuration command). The port is
set to access unconditionally and operates as a nontrunking, single VLAN interface that
sends and receives nonencapsulated (non-tagged) frames. An access port can be assigned
to only one VLAN.
Sets the port trunking mode dynamic parameter to auto to specify that the interface
convert the link to a trunk link. This is the default switchport mode.
Sets the port trunking mode dynamic parameter to desirable to specify that the interface
actively attempt to convert the link to a trunk link.
Sets the port to trunk unconditionally. The port is a trunking VLAN Layer 2 interface.
The port sends and receives encapsulated (tagged) frames that identify the VLAN of
origination. A trunk is a point-to-point link between two switches or between a switch
and a router.
