Description
Use this command to add or remove native and tagged VLANs on a Layer 2
interface.
Usage Guidelines
There are no usage guidelines for this command.
Examples
To set the native VLAN of 200 on an interface:
switch(conf-if-te-0/19)#switchport converged vlan 200
To set the tagged VLAN on an interface to 100:
switch(conf-if-te-0/19)#switchport converged allowed vlan add 100
To remove the tagged VLAN 100 from the interface:
switch(conf-if-te-0/19)#switchport converged allowed vlan remove 100

When using the FCS Automatic Distribution feature in Fabric OS 6.0 or later, all
switches in the fabric must be running Fabric OS 6.0 or later. If any switches are
running Fabric OS 5.x or earlier, only manual distribution can be used.
Fabric OS 6.0 or later will only allow FCS automatic distribution when in strict
mode, requiring only switches with Fabric OS 6.0 or later.

Access Gateway mode.
Access Gateway
The default settings for Port Fencing reflect very low thresholds and may cause
fence ports to experience errors. HP recommends increasing these threshold values
for use in production environments. Different platforms may require different
threshold settings for optimum behavior.
When the port fencing feature is enabled for ITW or CRC errors, the first set of
errors detected on an active link that meet the custom high threshold level set by
the user (or the default threshold level) is always ignored to account for expected
link transition errors. The port is disabled only upon detection of a second set of
errors, that is, the next time the user-set threshold level (or default threshold level)
is reached. This prevents a port from being disabled due to normal link transition
behaviors.
Port Fencing is only supported on E_Port and F_Port classes. Port Fencing is
available with the optional Fabric Watch license.

Proper behavior of Port Mirroring requires that the entire frame path contain only
8-Gb ASICs or only 4-Gb ASICs. If a frame path contains a mix of 8-Gb and 4-Gb
ASICs, this functionality will not work as intended.
