switchport mode

This command configures the VLAN membership mode for a port. Use the no form
to restore the default.
Syntax
switchport mode {access | hybrid | trunk | private-vlan}
no switchport mode
access - Specifies an access VLAN interface. The port transmits and
receives untagged frames only.
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 4-238.
Default Setting
All ports are in hybrid mode with the PVID set to VLAN 1.
