Chapter 11 Configuring VLANs
Configuring VLAN Trunks
Configuring a Trunk Port
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a port as a trunk port:
To return an interface to its default configuration, use the
default interface
interface-id
interface
configuration command. To reset all trunking characteristics of a trunking interface to the defaults, use
the
no switchport trunk
interface configuration command. To disable trunking, use the
switchport
mode access
interface configuration command to configure the port as a static-access port.
This example shows how to configure a port as an IEEE 802.1Q trunk. The example assumes that the
neighbor interface is configured to support IEEE 802.1Q trunking.
Switch#
configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#
interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)#
switchport mode dynamic desirable
Switch(config-if)#
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Switch(config-if)#
end
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface
interface-id
Specify the port to be configured for trunking, and enter interface
configuration mode.
Step 3
switchport trunk encapsulation
{
isl
|
dot1q | negotiate
}
Configure the port to support ISL or IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation or to
negotiate (the default) with the neighboring interface for encapsulation
type.
You must configure each end of the link with the same encapsulation type.
Step 4
switchport mode
{
dynamic
{
auto
|
desirable
} |
trunk
}
Configure the interface as a Layer 2 trunk (required only if the interface
is a Layer 2 access port or tunnel port or to specify the trunking mode).
•
dynamic auto
—Set the interface to a trunk link if the neighboring
interface is set to trunk or desirable mode. This is the default.
•
dynamic desirable
—Set the interface to a trunk link if the
neighboring interface is set to trunk, desirable, or auto mode.
•
trunk
—Set the interface in permanent trunking mode and negotiate
to convert the link to a trunk link even if the neighboring interface is
not a trunk interface.
Step 5
switchport access vlan
vlan-id
(Optional) Specify the default VLAN, which is used if the interface stops
trunking.
Step 6
switchport trunk native vlan
vlan-id
Specify the native VLAN for IEEE 802.1Q trunks.
Step 7
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 8
show interfaces
interface-id
switchport
Display the switchport configuration of the interface in the
Administrative
Mode
and the
Administrative Trunking Encapsulation
fields of the
display.
Step 9
show interfaces
interface-id
trunk
Display the trunk configuration of the interface.
Step 10
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
