Syntax

trunk - Specifies a port as an end-point for a VLAN trunk. A trunk is a direct link between two switches, so the port transmits tagged frames that identify the source VLAN. Note that frames belonging to the port’s default VLAN (i.e., associated with the PVID) are also transmitted as tagged frames.

hybrid - Specifies a hybrid VLAN interface. The port may transmit tagged or untagged frames.

private-vlan- For an explanation of this command see “switchport mode private-vlan” on page 4-156.

Default Setting

All ports are in hybrid mode with the PVID set to VLAN 1.
