Command mode INTERFACE
Usage information
The interface must be in Switchport Trunk mode when adding the interface to the controller. If the interface is not
in the Switchport Trunk mode, the system displays the following error message:
% Error: Interface ethernet1/1/1, must be in switchport trunk for controller
mode.
NOTE: If the interface has active port-scoped VLAN (Port,VLAN) pairs congured by the controller, you
cannot remove an interface from the controller.
The no version of this command removes the interface from the controller and removes any VXLAN binding
associated with the interface.
