When a port belongs to a VLAN, the switch learns and manages the addresses
associated with the port on a per-VLAN basis. For more information, see the
“Managing the MAC Address Tables” section on page 6-56.
VLAN Membership Combinations
You can configure your switch ports in various VLAN membership combinations
as listed in Table 8-3.
Table 8-3 VLAN Combinations
Port Mode VTP Required? Configuration Procedure Comments
Static-access ports No “Assigning Static-Access
Ports to a VLAN” section
on page 8-10
If you do not want to use VTP to
globally propagate the VLAN
configuration information, you can
assign a static-access port to a
VLAN and set the VTP mode to
transparent to disable VTP.
Static-access and
multi-VLAN ports
No “Overlapping VLANs and
Multi-VLAN Ports”
section on page 8-11
“Assigning Static-Access
Ports to a VLAN” section
on page 8-10
You must connect the multi-VLAN
port to a router or server.
The switch automatically
transitions to VTP transparent
mode (VTP is disabled). No VTP
configuration is required.
Some restrictions apply to
multi-VLAN ports. For more
information, see the “Avoiding
Configuration Conflicts” section
on page 9-2.
