When a packet is received on a trunk port, the switch identifies the VLAN for the received packet from the
packet’s VLAN tag header. If the received packet did not have a VLAN identifier and the packet did not
match any MAC or protocol VLAN, the native VLAN is used to determine the VLAN for all untagged and
priority tagged packets that are received.
If the user has not configured a native VLAN, the default VLAN 1 will be used as native VLAN for the trunk
ports.
Follow the steps below to configure any port as a trunk port.
Step
Command
Description
Step 1
configure terminal
Enters the configuration mode
Step 2
interface <interface-type> <interface-id>
or
interface range <interface-type> <interface-id>
….
Enters the interface mode.
interface-type – may be any of the
following:
fx-ethernet – fx
cx-ethernet – cx
port-channel – po
interface-id is in slot/port format for all
physical interfaces. It may be a port
channel identifier for port channel
interfaces.
To configure multiple interfaces, use
the “interface range …” command. To
provide a range, use a hypen (-)
between the start and end interface
numbers.
E.g.: int range fx 0/1-10
To provide multiple interfaces or
ranges, separate with a comma (,).
E.g.: int range fx 0/1-10, fx 0/20
Step 3
switchport mode trunk
Sets the port mode as a trunk port.
Step 4
show vlan port config port <iftype> <ifnum>
and
show running-config
Displays the configured mode for this
interface.
Step 5
write startup-config
Optional step – saves this VLAN
configuration to be part of startup
configuration.
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.
