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.

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

or untagged frames.

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.

private-vlan - For an explanation of this command see "switchport mode

private-vlan" on page 4-318.

Default Setting

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

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)

Command Usage

Access mode is mutually exclusive with VLAN trunking (see the vlan-trunking
command on page 4-305). If VLAN trunking is enabled on an interface, then
that interface cannot be set to access mode, and vice versa.

Example

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