Configuring access & trunk ports
This article describes how to configure access and trunk ports on a Cisco switch. How to verify the commands is also shown in the article.
Configuring VLAN Trunks
A trunk port configured with IEEE 802.1Q tagging can receive both tagged and untagged traffic. By default, the device forwards untagged traffic in the native VLAN configured for the port.
Configuring Access and Trunk Interfaces
Understanding Access and Trunk Interfaces Ethernet interfaces can be configured either as access ports or a trunk ports, as follows:
Configuring VLAN Trunks
Trunk ports can be grouped into EtherChannel port groups, but all trunks in the group must have the same configuration. When a group is first created, all ports follow the parameters set for the first port
Configuring Access and Trunk Interfaces
Configuring Access and Trunk Interfaces Ethernet interfaces can be configured either as access ports or trunk ports. Trunks carry the traffic of multiple VLANs over a single link and allow you to extend
