Configure the switch port mode settings for interfaces
You can configure switch port mode settings on interfaces. The switch port mode defines
the purpose of the port based on the type of device it connects to and constraints the
VLAN configuration of the port accordingly. Assigning the appropriate switch port mode
helps simplify VLAN configuration and minimize errors.
The switch supports the following types of switch ports:
• Access: This mode is for ports connected to end devices. Access ports participate
in one VLAN only. They accept both tagged and untagged packets, but always
transmit untagged packets.
• General: This mode enables a custom configuration of a port. You can configure
the general port VLAN attributes, such as membership (see Configure membership
interfaces for a VLAN on page 199) and PVID, tagging, ingress filter, and so on (see
Change the port VLAN ID settings on page 202). By default, all ports are initially
configured in the general mode.
• Trunk: This mode is for ports that are connected to other switches or to a router. A
trunk port can participate in multiple VLANs and accept both tagged and untagged
packets.
In the following procedure, ports are referred to as interfaces.
