1. switch# configure terminal
2. switch(config)# interface {ethernet slot/port | port-channel number}
3. switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan vlan-id
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# interface {ethernet slot/port |
port-channel number}
Step 3
switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan vlan-id
This example shows how to configure an Ethernet interface to join VLAN 5:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/13
switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 5
Verifying VLAN Configuration
To display VLAN configuration information, perform one of these tasks:
Command
switch# show running-config vlan [vlan_id |
vlan_range]
switch# show vlan [brief | id [vlan_id | vlan_range]
| name name | summary]
The following example shows all VLANs defined in the range of 1 to 21.
switch# show running-config vlan 1-21
version 5.0(3)U1(1)
