Supermicro SSE-F3548S/SSE-F3548SR Configuration User’s Guide
The “switchport access vlan” command will be accepted only if the port is in access mode.
The “no switchport mode” command will change the port mode to the default hybrid mode.
For more details about hybrid mode, refer to the Hybrid Ports section.
The “no switchport access vlan” command will set the access VLAN as default VLAN 1. The
port will continue to be the access port of VLAN 1.
The examples below show various ways to create VLANs with access ports.
Create a VLAN with identifier 50 and configure ports fx 0/2 to fx 0/10 as access ports to this VLAN.
SMIS# configure terminal
SMIS(config)# vlan 50
SMIS(config-vlan)# exit
SMIS(config)# interface range fx 0/2-10
SMIS(config-if)# switchport mode access
SMIS(config-if)# switchport access vlan 50
SMIS(config-if)# exit
Create a VLAN with identifier 10 and configure port channel 1 as access port to this VLAN.
SMIS# configure terminal
SMIS(config)# vlan 10
SMIS(config-vlan)# exit
SMIS(config)# interface po 1
SMIS(config-if)# switchport mode access
SMIS(config-if)# switchport access vlan 10
SMIS(config-if)# exit
3.8.2 Trunk Ports
Trunk ports carry the traffic of one or more VLANs. Any switch port can be configured as a trunk port.
Usually switch ports connected between switches are configured as trunk ports to carry multiple VLAN
traffic across switches. Switch ports connected to end stations (computers / servers) that have multiple
VLANs are also configured as trunk ports.
When a switch port is configured as a trunk port, it will be added to all the VLANs in the switch as a tagged
port by default. To restrict the VLANs carried in trunk ports, refer to the Allowed VLANs on a Trunk section.
Trunk ports will not carry traffic for VLANs that are not configured in a switch.
For example, if the user wants to carry traffic for all the VLANs from 1 to 1024 in a trunk
port, VLANs 1 to 1024 need to be created in the switch using the “vlan” command.
A switch adds the VLAN tag header to all packets sent out on the trunk port except for native VLAN traffic.
Supermicro switches support only IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation for VLAN tag headers.
