Chapter 3 Configuring Layer 2 Interfaces
Configuring Access and Trunk Interfaces
DETAILED STEPS
This example shows how to set Ethernet 3/1 as a Layer 2 access port that carries traffic for VLAN 5 only:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 3/1
switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 5
switch(config-if)#
Configuring Access Host Ports
Note You should apply the switchport host command only to interfaces connected to an end station.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Example:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
interface {{type slot/port} |
{port-channel number}}
Example:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 3/1
switch(config-if)#
Specifies an interface to configure, and enters interface
configuration mode.
Step 3
switchport mode {access | trunk}
Example:
switch(config-if)# switchport mode
access
Sets the interface as a nontrunking nontagged,
single-VLAN Layer 2 interface. An access port can
carry traffic in one VLAN only. By default, an access
port carries traffic for VLAN1; to set the access port to
carry traffic for a different VLAN, use the switchport
access vlan command.
Step 4
switchport access vlan vlan-id
Example:
switch(config-if)# switchport access
vlan 5
Specifies the VLAN for which this access port will
carry traffic. If you do not enter this command, the
access port carries traffic on VLAN1 only; use this
command to change the VLAN for which the access
port carries traffic.
Step 5
exit
Example:
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)#
Exits the configuration mode.
Step 6
show interface
Example:
switch# show interface
(Optional) Displays the interface status and
information.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config
Example:
switch(config)# copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Copies the running configuration to the
startup configuration.
