Configuring and Enabling Switch Ports as Trunk Ports
This procedure describes how to create a trunk port that can carry multiple VLANs using 802.1Q
tagging. Trunk mode is available only with the Security Plus license.
To create an access port, where an interface is assigned to only one VLAN, see the “Configuring and
Enabling Switch Ports as Access Ports” section on page 13-8.
Guidelines
This switch port cannot pass traffic until you assign at least one VLAN to it, native or non-native.
Detailed Steps
Step1 Choose the Configuration > Device Setup > Interfaces pane.
