Configuring an interface port as a Layer 2 switch port

To configure the interface as a Layer 2 switch port, perform the following steps from privileged EXEC mode.

1.Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.

2.Enter the interface command to specify the CEE interface type and slot/port number.

switch(config)#interface tengigabitethernet 0/1

3.Enter the no shutdown command to enable the CEE interface.

4.Enter the switchport command to configure the interface as a Layer 2 switch port.

5.Enter the do show command to confirm the status of the CEE interface. For example

switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#do show interface tengigabitethernet 0/1

6. Enter the do show command to confirm the status of the CEE interface running configuration.

switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#do show running-config interface tengigabitethernet 0/1

Configuring an interface port as an access interface

Each CEE interface port supports admission policies based on whether the frames are untagged or tagged. Access mode admits only untagged and priority-tagged frames.

To configure the interface as an access interface, perform the following steps from privileged EXEC mode.

1.Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.

2.Enter the interface command to specify the CEE interface type and slot/port number.

switch(config)#interface tengigabitethernet 0/1

3.Enter the no shutdown command to enable the CEE interface.

4.Enter the switchport access command to configure the CEE interface as a Layer 2 switch port.

switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#switchport access vlan 20

5. Enter the switchport mode command to set the mode of the interface to access.

switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#switchport mode access

Configuring an interface port as a trunk interface

Each CEE interface port supports admission policies based on whether the frames are untagged or tagged. Trunk mode admits only VLAN-tagged frames.

To configure the interface as a trunk interface, perform the following steps from privileged EXEC mode.

1.Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.

2.Enter the interface command to specify the CEE interface type and slot/port number.

switch(config)#interface tengigabitethernet 0/19

3.Enter the no shutdown command to enable the CEE interface.

4.Enter the switchport mode trunk command to place the CEE interface into trunk mode.
