• access — An access port connects to a single end station belonging to a
single VLAN. An access port is configured with ingress filtering enabled
and will accept either an untagged frame or a packet tagged with the access
port VLAN. An access port only egresses untagged packets.
• trunk — Trunk port connects two switches. A trunk port may belong to
multiple VLANs. A trunk port accepts only packets tagged with the VLAN
IDs of the VLANs to which the trunk is a member. A trunk only egresses
tagged packets.
• general — Full 802.1q support VLAN interface. A general mode port may
be a combination of both trunk and access ports. It is possible to fully
configure all VLAN features on a general mode port.
