Information About Access and Trunk Interfaces
Understanding Access and Trunk Interfaces
Ethernet interfaces can be configured either as access ports or a trunk ports, as follows:
•
An access port can have only one VLAN configured on the interface; it can carry traffic for only one
VLAN.
•
A trunk port can have two or more VLANs configured on the interface; it can carry traffic for several
VLANs simultaneously.
Cisco NX-OS supports only IEEE 802.1Q-type VLAN trunk encapsulation.Note
