History
Usage
Information
Prior to using this command, you must execute the switchport command to place the 
interface in Layer 2 mode.
To remove the trunk port designation, the port must first be removed (using the 
no 
member
 interface command) from all Stackable VLAN-enabled VLANs. 
Starting with FTOS 7.7.1.0 for E-Series, the VLAN-Stack trunk port can 
transparently tunnel, in a service provider environment, customer-originated xSTP 
control protocol PDUs. Refer to Chapter 47, Service Provider Bridging.
Starting with FTOS 7.8.1.0 for C-Series and S-Series (FTOS 7.7.1 for E-Series), a 
VLAN-Stack trunk port is also allowed to be configured as a tagged port and as an 
untagged port for single-tagged VLANs. When the VLAN-Stack trunk port is also a 
member of an untagged VLAN, the port should be in hybrid mode. Refer to portmode 
hybrid.
In Example 1 below a VLAN-Stack trunk port is configured and then also made part 
of a single-tagged VLAN.
