Usage You cannot set a port’s type if the port is a member of a port VLAN. To remove a port from a VLAN, use the clear vlan command. To reset a port as a network port, use the clear port type command.

When you change port type, WSS Software applies default settings appropriate for the port type. Table 5 lists the default settings that WSS Software applies when you set a port’s type to ap.
