Chapter 7 Configuring VLANs
Configuring VLAN Trunks
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 with VLAN 33 as the native
VLAN:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# interface fastethernet0/2
Router(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
Router(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan 33
Router(config-if)# end
Defining the Allowed VLANs on a Trunk
By default, a trunk port sends traffic to and receives traffic from all VLANs. All VLAN IDs, 1 to 4094,
are allowed on each trunk. However, you can remove VLANs from the allowed list, preventing traffic
from those VLANs from passing over the trunk. To restrict the traffic a trunk carries, use the switchport
trunk allowed vlan remove vlan-list interface configuration command to remove specific VLANs from
the allowed list.
Note VLAN 1 is the default VLAN on all trunk ports in all Cisco switches, and it has previously been a
requirement that VLAN 1 always be enabled on every trunk link. The VLAN 1 minimization feature
allows you to disable VLAN 1 on any individual VLAN trunk link so that no user traffic (including
spanning-tree advertisements) is sent or received on VLAN 1. You do this by removing VLAN 1 from
the allowed VLAN list.
To reduce the risk of spanning-tree loops or storms, you can disable VLAN 1 on any individual VLAN
trunk port by removing VLAN 1 from the allowed list. When you remove VLAN 1 from a trunk port,
the interface continues to send and receive management traffic, for example, Cisco Discovery Protocol.
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
no shutdown Enable the port, if necessary. By default, UNIs and ENIs are disabled, and
NNIs are enabled.
Step 4
switchport mode trunk Configure the interface as a Layer 2 trunk.
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 field 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.
