Information
If an IP address or VRRP group is assigned to the interface, you cannot use the switchport command
on the interface. To use the switchport command on an interface, only the no ip address and no
shutdown statements must be listed in the show config output.
When you enter the switchport command, the interface is automatically added to the default VLAN.
To use the switchport backup interface command on a port, you must first enter the switchport
command. For details, see the Configuring Redundant Links section in the Layer 2 chapter of the
FTOS Configuration Guide.
