Configuring Access Host Ports
By using switchport host, you can make an access port a spanning-tree edge port, and enable bpdu filtering
and bpdu guard at the same time.
Before You Begin
Ensure that you are configuring the correct interface; it must be an interface that is connnected to an end
station.
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Specifies an interface to configure, and enters interface
configuration mode.
switch(config)# interface type
slot/port
Step 2
Sets the interface to spanning-tree port type edge, turns
on bpdu filtering and bpdu guard.
switch(config-if)# switchport host
Step 3
Apply this command only to switchports which
connect to hosts.
Note
This example shows how to set an interface as an Ethernet access host port with EtherChannel disabled:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/10
switch(config-if)# switchport host
Configuring Trunk Ports
You can configure an Ethernet port as a trunk port; a trunk port transmits untagged packets for the native
VLAN plus encapsulated, tagged, packets for multiple VLANs.
Cisco NX-OS supports only 802.1Q encapsulation.Note
To configure a trunk port, perform this task:
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Specifies an interface to configure, and enters interface
configuration mode.
switch(config)# interface {type
slot/port | port-channel number}
