Usage Guidelines
The device-role command specifies the role of the device attached to the port. By default, the device role is
node.
The switch keyword indicates that the remote device is a switch and that the local switch is now operating in
multiswitch mode; binding entries learned from the port will be marked with trunk_port preference level. If
the port is configured as a trust-port, binding entries will be marked with trunk_trusted_port preference level.
Examples
This example shows how to define an IPv6 snooping policy name as policy1, place the device in IPv6 snooping
configuration mode, and configure the device as the node:
Device(config)# ipv6 snooping policy policy1
Device(config-ipv6-snooping)# device-role node
