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
