• access—An access port connects to a single end station belonging to a single VLAN. An
access port is configured with ingress filtering enabled and will accept either an untagged

untagged packets.
• trunk—Trunk port connects two switches. A trunk port may belong to multiple VLANs.
A trunk port accepts only packets tagged with the VLAN IDs of the VLANs to which the
trunk is a member. A trunk only egresses tagged packets.
• general—Full 802.1q support VLAN interface. A general mode port may be a
combination of both trunk and access ports. It is possible to fully configure all VLAN
features on a general mode port.
