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}
Step 2
Sets allowed VLANs for the trunk interface. The default is
to allow all VLANs on the trunk interface: 1 to 3967 and
switch(config-if)# switchport trunk
allowed vlan {vlan-list all | none
Step 3
4048 to 4094. VLANs 3968 to 4047 are the default VLANs
[add |except | none | remove
{vlan-list}]}
reserved for internal use by default; this group of VLANs is
configurable. By default, all VLANs are allowed on all trunk
interfaces.
You cannot add internally allocated VLANs as
allowed VLANs on trunk ports. The system returns
a message if you attempt to list an internally
allocated VLAN as an allowed VLAN.
Note
This example shows how to add VLANs to the list of allowed VLANs on an Ethernet trunk port:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/3
switch(config-if)# switchport trunk allow vlan 15-20
Configuring Native 802.1Q VLANs
Typically, you configure 802.1Q trunks with a native VLAN ID, which strips tagging from all packets on that
VLAN. This configuration allows all untagged traffic and control traffic to transit the Cisco Nexus 3000 Series
switch. Packets that enter the switch with 802.1Q tags that match the native VLAN ID value are similarly
stripped of tagging.
To maintain the tagging on the native VLAN and drop untagged traffic, enter the vlan dot1q tag native
command. The switch will tag the traffic received on the native VLAN and admit only 802.1Q-tagged frames,
dropping any untagged traffic, including untagged traffic in the native VLAN.
Control traffic continues to be accepted untagged on the native VLAN on a trunked port, even when the vlan
dot1q tag native command is enabled.
The vlan dot1q tag native command is enabled on global basis.Note
