Description Use this command to set the mode of the Layer 2 interface.
Usage
Guidelines
With this command, the interface can be set to access mode for non-FCoE traffic, or converged
mode for FCoE/non-FCoE traffic. However, the preferred way of configuring an interface for FCoE is
with the command fcoeport with the port configured in access mode.
Examples To set the mode of the interface to access:
switch(conf-if-te-0/19)#switchport mode access
To set the mode of the interface to trunk:
switch(conf-if-te-0/19)#switchport mode trunk
To set the mode of the interface to converged:
switch(conf-if-te-0/19)#switchport mode converged
