  switchport access
These restrictions apply to dynamic-access ports:
  • The software implements the VLAN Query Protocol (VQP) client, which can query a VMPS such 
as a Catalyst 6000 series switch. The IE 3000 switches are not VMPS servers. The VMPS server 
must be configured before a port is configured as dynamic.
  • Use dynamic-access ports only to connect end stations. Connecting them to switches or routers (that 
use bridging protocols) can cause a loss of connectivity.
  • Configure the network so that STP does not put the dynamic-access port into an STP blocking state. 
The Port Fast feature is automatically enabled on dynamic-access ports.
  • Dynamic-access ports can only be in one VLAN and do not use VLAN tagging.
  • Dynamic-access ports cannot be configured as
  –
Members of an EtherChannel port group (dynamic-access ports cannot be grouped with any 
other port, including other dynamic ports).
  –
Source or destination ports in a static address entry.
  –
Monitor ports.
Examples This example shows how to change a switched port interface that is operating in access mode to operate 
in VLAN 2 instead of the default VLAN:
Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2
You can verify your setting by entering the show interfaces interface-id switchport privileged EXEC 
command and examining information in the Administrative Mode and Operational Mode rows.
