  • Wireless Controllers — RFS4000
  • Service Platforms — NX7500, NX7510, NX7520, NX7530, NX9500, NX9510, NX9600

Syntax

switchport [allowed|l2protocol-tunnel|mode|native]
switchport allowed [add <VLAN-ID>|none|remove <VLAN-ID>]
switchport l2protocol-tunnel [cdp|lldp|pvst+|spanning-tree|vtp]
switchport mode [access|hybrid|trunk]
switchport native

Parameters

switchport allowed [add <VLAN-ID>|none|remove <VLAN-ID>]
switchport allowed [add <VLAN-ID>| none| remove <VLAN-ID>] Configures VLAN groups on the selected interface.
  • add <VLAN-ID> – Configures the list of VLAN identifiers to add. When the add option is used, the interface is assigned to the specified VLANs, and membership in all previous VLANs is retained.
    • <VLAN-ID> – Specify the list of VLANs to add.
  • none – Removes all VLANs from the current list
  • remove <VLAN-ID> – Configures the list of VLAN identifiers to remove. When the remove option is used, the specified VLANs are removed from the current list.
    • <VLAN-ID> – Specify the list of VLANs to remove.
switchport l2protocol-tunnel [cdp|lldp|pvst+|spanning-tree|vtp]
switchport l2protocol-tunnel [cdp|lldp|pvst+| spanning-tree|vtp] Enables layer 2 protocol tunneling (L2PT) for the specified protocol. Specify the protocol:
  • cdp – Cisco Discovery Protocol
  • lldp – Link Layer Discovery Protocol
  • pvst+ – Cisco Per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus
  • spanning-tree – Spanning Tree (STP, RSTP, MSTP)
  • vtp – Cisco VLAN Trunking Protocol

L2PT is disabled for all of the above specified protocols by default.

switchport mode [access|hybrid|trunk]
switchport mode [access|hybrid| trunk] Configures the VLAN membership mode for this port
  • access – The port is configured as an access VLAN interface. It transmits and receives packets untagged frames on a single VLAN.
  • trunk – Configures the selected port as an end-point for a VLAN trunk. A trunk link is configured between two switches, and it carries frames on more than one VLANs. These frames are tagged in order to identify the source VLAN. Frames belonging to the port‘s default VLAN are also transmitted as tagged frames.
  • hybrid – Configures the selected port as a hybrid VLAN interface. When configured as hybrid, the port can transmit either tagged or untagged frames. This is the default setting.
switchport native vlan <1-4094>
switchport native vlan <1-4094> in Configures the VLAN membership mode for this port
  • native vlan <1-4094> – Configures the port‘s VLAN ID (PVID) (this is the port‘s default VLAN ID). Frames from the specified VLAN ingress untagged at this port. The default value is 1.

When using access mode, and an interface is assigned to a new VLAN, the port‘s VLAN ID (PVID) is automatically set to the identifier for that VLAN. When using hybrid mode, the PVID for an interface can be set to any VLAN for which it is an untagged member.
