switchport
Place an interface in Layer 2 mode.
Syntax
switchport [[backup interface {interface | port-channel number}] | mode
private-vlan {host | promisucous | trunk}]
To remove an interface from Layer 2 mode and place it in Layer 3 mode, enter the no switchport command.
If a switchport backup interface is configured, first remove the backup configuration. To remove a switchport
backup interface, enter the no switchport backup interface command.
Parameters
backup (OPTIONAL) Use this option to configure a redundant Layer 2 link without using Spanning
Tree. The keyword backup configures a backup port so that if the primary port fails, the
backup port changes to the up state. If the primary later comes up, it becomes the
backup.
interface interface (OPTIONAL) Enter any of the following keywords and the interface information:
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then
the slot/port/subport[/subport] information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/
port information.
