Places an interface in L2 Access or Trunk mode.

Syntax
switchport mode {access | trunk}

  • trunk — Enables L2 switching of untagged frames on the access VLAN, and of tagged frames on the VLANs specified with the switchport trunk allowed vlan command.

Command Mode
INTERFACE
Usage Information
  • If you assign an IP address to an interface, you cannot use this command to enable L2 switching — you must first remove the IP address.
  • The access parameter automatically adds an interface to default VLAN1 to transmit untagged traffic. Use the switchport access vlan command to change the access VLAN assignment.
  • The trunk parameter configures an interface to transmit tagged VLAN traffic. You must manually configure VLAN membership for a trunk port with the switchport trunk allowed vlan command.
  • Use the no switchport command to remove all L2 configurations when you configure an L3 mode interface.
  • Use the no switchport mode command to restore a trunk port on an interface to L2 Access mode on VLAN1.
Example
