switchport access vlan
Switchport access vlan
The switchport access vlan command assigns a Layer 2 interface on a Cisco IOS device to the specified VLAN. This command only takes effect for interfaces that are operating in access mode.
The process to configure a Layer 2 interface as an access port assigned to a specific VLAN involves 2 steps:
- Step 1: Configure the interface to operate in access mode using the command switchport mode access
- Step 2: Assign the interface to the desired VLAN using the switchport access vlan command
The format of the command is as follows:
switchport access vlan <vlan-id>
where <vlan-id> is the desired VLAN to which the interface must belong.
Let's take a look at an example. If we wanted to configure interface GigabitEthernet 0/1 to operate in access mode and be assigned to VLAN 100, we would enter configuration commands as follows:
SW1 Console
SW1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
SW1(config)#interface gi0/1
SW1(config-if)#switchport mode access
SW1(config-if)#switchport access vlan 100
SW1(config-if)#
