VLAN COMMANDS

switchport mode

This command configures the VLAN membership mode for a port. Use the no form to restore the default.

Syntax

switchport mode {trunk hybrid} no switchport mode

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.

Default Setting

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

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)

Example

The following shows how to set the configuration mode to port 1, and then set the switchport mode to hybrid:

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/1

Console(config-if)#switchport mode hybrid

Console(config-if)#
